Great info,will be in varidaro cuba this tuesday,my 3rd time there ,we enjoy helping out the people there and they are the friendliest people we have come across in our travels.we have exchanged money at the hotel and bank in varidaro and didn't recieve a good rate ,who do i go to in varidaro to receive a better rate ,if you have a suggestion on who to ask for would be a great help. Keep up with your videos you do a damb good job my friend.
Thanks 🙏🏿 im glad that my video is helpful keep supporting the Cuban people. Ask the guys that carry the suitcase at the hotel the Security. Outside de hotel taxi deivers or at the private restaurants
So happy I found your channel. I’m being treated for a medical condition , but have my doctor’s blessing to travel to Cuba next Thursday for a few days. I have to eat and stay hydrated at all times. Can I bring bottled water and snacks into Cuba. I’m flying American Airlines and check my bag? Can’t seem to get an answer. When I flew to Belize I had a suitcase full of bottled water and snacks and had no problems.
Im glad you find usefull my Chanel. Yes you can bring Snacks and Bottles of Water. You can find bottle Water in the New Private stores called Mypimes same as Snacks, a few years ago was hard to find but now there múltiples store like that in Havana.
Great information!!! Excellent content and for those of you who are hesitant to visit Cuba, I have one word for w, GO!! It’s an amazing place and the best way you can show your support for the Cuban people is to go there, interact with the Cuban people, purchase goods from private businesses, eat in the restaurants owned by Cubans, help the people and be ready to be impressed!!
Keep it up. I love cuba for its assistance in revolutions in Africa & now medical assistance. The embargo is evil & needs to be removed. Inflation is everywhere but Cuba still resilient.
Thanks 🙏🏿 Many of the reasons of the Crisis that Cuba is going through are because of the government missmanagent the lack of freedom and the fact that one family is been in the power running a country for 64 years with not democratic elections not because the Embargo . Embargo affects but isn't like that.
@@yourcubanplugBlessings Bro. I want to visit Havana in the next couple of months from Miami. You are very informative. How do I get in contact with you?
What's about Canadian dollars. we do not mind to bring some USD bills with tips. But it is annoying to exchange CAd into USD or Euro and then into peso.
My recommendation is that will be better exchange Canadian Dollars into USD Dollars and then into pesos. You may wondering why is better? Well her it is Canadian Dollar Exchange rate isn't Good. 1 Canadian Dollar in the Streets is worth 200 to 250 pesos the best exchange rate. While 1 USD is worth 300 to 320 pesos
I’m in Varadero right now Feb 2024 and needed my Visa card to pay for tours, biscuits and even to get on the 5 dollar hop on hop off bus that doesn’t accept cash. Don’t forget a credit card. Also many stores don’t want my pesos:)
Crédit Card of Canadian or European Banks,The ones from Americans Banks won't work in Cuba .Pro tip the hop on hop off will accept cash on the Side just bring some singles 1 dollars Bills they will accept it
@@yourcubanplug Thanks, yes I amCanadian and my card is Visa! I was going to try cash but the bus was full and I think they wouldn’t want everyone paying cash!Lol. I will try again! Thank you.
I remember the CUC and getting the wrong change back in CUC when I paid with CUP. Had to be aware. 😂 I agree with changing money with someone you know and getting better exchange rate! Thanks for the tips and knowledge!
It must have been the other way around. Because getting back CUC when you paid with CUP would be greatly beneficial to you. Since CUP was worth very little in comparison to CUC. Definitely glad the they only have 1 currency now
@@VicandSheila91 The elimination of the CUC bro had been a nightmare nro we Cubans thought it was going to benefit us bit just make everything hard. I remember going to the store with 5 cuc and buy some beers cigarretes candy for the kids and still have some change. 5 CUC was 125pesos now with that bro can't get much
@@VicandSheila91yes, I confused the two. Paid a taxi driver one night and after getting out, he called me to come back. When I got back to taxi he had a $10 saying I gave him the wrong one. Either he switched it or someone else did earlier (bar/restaurant/shop). I wasn’t going to argue over $10 but I still felt some type of way about it. Theft is theft. $1 or $100. He needed it more than I did or whoever got me earlier. Either way, was a lesson learned. Thanks for correction!
Thanks for Watching 🙏🏿. The video is from January Today May 22 1 USD = 365 pesos thats today but it goes up and down.As I said in the Video never exchange at the Airport or Bank.
Thats whats sup with Cuba ATM ,evrth is unstabled, keep it up bro this content is necessary for all the people who want to knw and enjoy the Cuban culture despite what they are told abroad,Saludos Desde Cuba
You definitely need to change some USD at the airport to take your Cab to your AirB&B or Casa Particular ! Once you arrive ask your host for better rates !
No you don't have to. You can pay your cab driver in USD is actually the currency that they prefer. Is up to you to exchange at the Airport or not ,but the exchange rate is very low campared with the local rate in the streets
Yes I made the video about a month ago the rate was at that moment ,now is around 300 for USD and 305 for Euros .Of Course things are more expensive for the Cuban people, for foreigners that carry hard currency is cheap.

People save the money for either travel and buy good those that Hold a Visa to Mexico or Panamá. But actually more People is using the money for leave the Country.
