Panorama), Spain (Air Europa and Iberia). Travellers from Asia or the Pacific may prefer to
travel through the US and through a connecting country such as Panama (COPA) or direct

Currently, the only official currency in Cuba at the moment is the CUP or Cuban peso,
SINCE AUGUST 4, 2022: The Central Bank of Cuba established an exchange rate of 120
CUP for 1 USD, which means that if you change at the airport or government exchange
rates will give you 125 CUP for 1 EURO), however in the black market you can find your
change 200 CUP for 1 Euro.
Our recommendation: Wait until you meet the ACDF team and we will help you get a better

You also don’t need to use bottled water to brush your teeth, as tap water has been purified
as well. Salads and fruits are also acceptable to eat at restaurants all included or

It’s not going to be cold in Cuba no matter what time of year the trip takes place, so pack
light clothing.

It is necessary to have an adapter that fits into American sockets. Electrical outlets use two
or three prongs and have a current of 110 volts.

It is not easy to use the Internet in Cuba, but it is not impossible either. And I could even say
that a little disconnection is not bad at all. It allows you to enjoy in another way, relax, chat
and meet other people and not be aware of every notification that comes to your cell phone.
To be able to connect to the Internet in Cuba it is necessary to buy a card from the ETECSA
company. This is a Cuban state telephone company.
