Now that Cuba and the United States are fixing their long-time political brouhaha, it wont be long that American visitors will be flooding to the Caribbeans largest nation soon. And when hordes of them are going there, you know what that means to the people of Cuba, to the country and to the tourism industry. Drastic change will happen and Cuba wont ever be the same again.
This year, in April, I went backpacking for 16 days thereand it was a unique backpacking adventure. For 16 days, I wasnt connected to the technologyand boy, what difference it made in my perception of travel. Without gadgets, I was able to maximize my time and took my sightseeing plans in my own pace without thinking of unread emails or facebook statuses or instagram posts. Social media was the least of my worry.
Currently, Cubas Tourism Office promotes the country with a catchy slogan Authentic Cuba. I hope that Cuba will, indeed, remain authentic.
Heres my own list of things to do in Cuba. Or list of things I did in Cuba.
1. Stay in a casa. Staying in a casa means staying in a locals house. Its like a homestay. Theyll also cook local food for you if you want for a minimal price. Some casas might be expensive for backpackers, but there are few hostels in Havana via HostelsClub below $10. Id recommend Casa Aleido in Havana for its Central location and accessibility.
