Comment on HAVANA, CUBA? by cubalishus

Whoa I’m going to Varadero in March too, were going to book our trip to Havana with our holiday rep, I believe you can go by coach but it takes a while to get there and as the roads aren’t the best in Cuba it would probably be a bit of a strain too, I know if you book via your holiday rep you get to spend time doing your own thing in Havana and a trip to the Flamingo Club in the evening plus a night in a hotel for about £120, we did the trip in 2006 and it was well worth the money, we went to Cayo Coco last time so it probably costs more to get to Havana from there, have a great time.

The best way is to do it through your tour group at the resort you´re staying at. Usually there is a day trip or an overnight stay with dinner, a Tropicana show and sites to see around Havana.
As well, you can always rent a car and drive through Havana. But if you do that, then you should go with others so as not to be alone and perhaps go with a Cuban you´ve befriended and trust who can show you around.

Enjoy your trip.

You can book the havana trip from your hotel and is cheaper than booking it with the travel operator at the welcome meeting. We chose not to book as our daughter was only 6 at the time and did not think it was suitable for her, did hear good reports about it though. You HAVE to book to swim with dolphins though, you can get the photo and video of the experience and is fantastic.

Do not miss it. Havana is one tour you should take when you go to Cuba. You will come away saying it was the highlight of your visit. A day trip from your resort should be about 75-80 Convertible Pesos which includes lunch although quite possibly a longer one which includes the show at the Tropicana will be offered. Check the links below for some info. January 8 I have just added a link with some of my photos from Havana,. They aren’t great photos but you may enjoy seeing them

Havana is about 2 hours drive from Varadero.

You can sign up for an organised trip – best to have at least one night in Havana.

Or you can hire a car to take you, spend a few nights in Havana (a hotel or a casa particular), get to know the city better.

I even traveled with my last name is completely different with my GC due to my recent marriage.
You have to explain a lot, and could be a hassle.

MIami is the less expensive, for the flight, but for the stay you will have to look carefully because some places are very expensive.

Comment on I WANT TO GO TRAVEL TO CHILE, BUT I FOUND THE TOUR IN HERE IS RATHER EXPENSIVE,? by Travel_Expert

Been 7 times there and most of the times I booked my tours there. Try these two agencies:
-Turismo Cocha (www.cocha.cl)
- Otsi tours (www.otsi.cl)
Their web page has an english section and you can find some info there (prices, dates, etc)
Been to Torres del Paine, it was breathtaking! However, staying there was quite expensive, as well as in Atacama, mainly because I stayed in Explora Patagonia and Explora Atacama which were fabulous hotels but not your average priced hotel. However, there are TONS of smaller places for backpackers. I recommend you contact these two travel agencies and see about prices and maybe ask them to recommend you other cheaper places to stay.
