How To Get Around Expensive Cuba Holidays.

By Jose Mauricio Maurette

In this expose you will find some information on how to go about seeking cheap Holidays to Cuba . Cuba has turned into a very costly tourist destination in last decade but there are ways around to find an economical option.

The transfers between locations in Cuba are what make an itinerary more or less expensive. Tour operators selling Cuba will simply use taxis to move you from A to B simply because there are no other options available that they can book and profit form it.

If you want to cut down your holiday costs then allow me to introduce you to Viazul. Viazul is a Bus Station with terminals in almost every province with tourist attractions in Cuba. Their tickets are very cheap.

So let?s compare prices. Let?s take a transfer from Trinidad to Havana. Havana and Trinidad is one combination that will be present on almost every tailor made itinerary. A private taxi from Trinidad to Havana will cost you anything from 160 GBP to 180 GBP and a ticket with Viazul cost just 20 GBP.

I hope you can appreciate how ridiculous the difference in price is. Now think how much you could safe if you were to go all around the island using this advice. You could be saving hundreds on pounds.

Viazul offers service of transportation among several cities of Cuba. This company offers a punctual service and of good quality, is a good option for those that desire to visit several cities and to save in the transportation.

One common mistake most people do is not to read about the destinations they are thinking of visiting before hands. Distances in Cuba are quite long. I could take you up to 6 hours from Havana to Trinidad by Taxi.

I will of course recommend you to take taxis if what you want is total comfort and relaxation and if money is not an issue but if you want to save good money then Viazul is the best and only option you will have.
