 P1.  Is it legal to rent a private house in Cuba? Is it possible to rent private house in Varadero ?

From 1997 the Cuban goverment permited to rent in a legal form the private houses to turists foreigners or to cuban people. It is possible in a lot of places in Cuba (with the exception of Varadero, Cayo Largo, Cayo Coco,..) to do that, the owners must pay taxes monthly and anually. This is one of the few private bussissnes in a legal form in Cuba.

In Varadero beach, is prohibited to the Cuban People to host foreigners in their houses, for this reason our recomendation to enjoy Varadero (one of the most beatiful beach in our country) one must rent in a hotel.


  P2.  Do we need to know the private house address when we arrive at the airport to obtain and fill the tourist Card ?. When will you give me the address of the private house ?

Yes you will need the address of the private house. When We know if the house has possibiliy to rent, We will send you via Email the confirmation, the complet address of the private house and the phone number of the house.


  P3. Do we need a passport to travel to Cuba ?

Yes, for all nacionalities you need a passport that must be valid more then 6 months after the day of your Cuban arrival.


  P4. Do we need a visa ?

No, you don't need properly a Visa, but You need a "Tourist Card" (Tarjeta de turista).
If you are not a resident of United States, you will receive the tourist card in the plane. If you are resident in United States, to come to Cuba trought Canada, Mexico or Bahamas, the travel Agency in those country can give you Tourist card (if come Via Cancún, you can solicite the Tourist Card for Cuba in the Cancún airport).


  P5. Will the inmigration agent of Cuba stamp the passport to the EEUU turist?

Generally, the inmigration oficial DON'T stamp the northamerican pasaport; in this case they must stamp another document separately, and you must keep it with you at all time that you will be in Cuba. Other option is to come to Cuba with the passport and your Certificate of Birthday. In the case (less probable) that your passport was stamped, (if You come back via Mexico) Its possible to use your Certificate or Birthday to get back to United States.


  P7. Do we need a hotel reservation to go to Cuba ?

Upon entering the country, Cuban officials will often ask at which hotel you're staying. If you don't have a voucher, email or some sort of printout with the hotel name and address (or name/address of the private house), they will insist that you book a 3-night stay at a hotel of their choise (often moderate to expensive). The safest bet is to have your accommodations arranged prior to your arrival.

Omnibus (State own) is the popular form for cuban people, is cheap, from 0.40 to 1 cuban peso, but the service is not very good.

Taxis para cubanos (private), this autos are traveling on the principal avenue, the price must be 10 or 20 cuban pesos, it dependence of the distance. They are not authorizated for tourist transportation. To go to another provinces the most economical options are the buses of Via Azul or the special buses of the Terminal buses, or by train, the reservation is in the Train Terminal or by plane, the reservation is in Cubana de Aviación, Aerogaviota, or others.

The Rent a Car is a good option. In Cuba exists diferente agency to rent a car. (Micar, CubaCar, HabanaAutos, Rex,....)
