Tips on cheap Cuba Holidays
In this article you will find some tips on how to go about finding cheap Cuba Holidays. Cuba has become a very expensive destination in last few years but there are ways around to find a cheap alternative.
If you want to get to know Cuba by travelling from one location to the next is going to be very expensive if you use taxis. Taxi transfers is what most of the tour operators selling tailor made itineraries will use on packages quoted.
My advice is to just ask for flights and accommodation from your agent and you will see what I mean. That will knock down few hundreds from your quotes including taxi transfers to/from each location in your itinerary. Now is time to introduce you to VIAZUL.
So that you have an idea of how much money you can safe let’s take for instance a taxi transfer from Havana to Trinidad. This journey takes about 5 hours and it will cost you around 250 CUC if you travel by taxi. Instead with viazul a ticket will cost you just 25 CUC.
As you can appreciate the difference is huge. When you want to visit places like Havana, Pinar del Rio, Cienfuegos, Trinidad or Santiago de Cuba only in taxi transfers you could be paying well over 800 CUC. Viazul will safe you around 80 % of that amount.
The coaches are very comfortable and come in different sizes. They are normally equipped with TV, WC, air conditioning and even catering for the longer journeys.
Most people willing to travel to Cuba don’t know how large this island really is. Cuba stretches for over 1200 Km from East to West. Journeys like Havana to Trinidad take around 5 hours none stop by taxi.
Just one point I want to make clear though which is the fact that VIAZUL alternative will never be as comfortable as the taxi option but hey! We are looking at cheap options here not VIP service.
