Food

Cuban cuisine heavily features rice, beans, chicken, and pork. Ample
seafood is available as well. Meals will be at state restaurants and private
paladars, often times with a fixed menu with various choices. Please
notify Kathy Nosek regarding food allergies prior to departure to make
special arrangements.

Water

Cuba has an outdated water system and tap water is not okay to drink. In
fact, many locals boil and bottle their water prior to consuming. Hotels
and fine restaurants will use purified water to make ice. Please only drink
bottled water and do not drink juices and other drinks if you’re not sure
if purified water has been used.

Health Issues

No pre-trip shots are needed.
Our hotel will have doctors on call and a hospital designated for
Members and guests. If you have any specific medical requirements or
concerns, please contact Kathy Nosek for guidance.
Crime and Safety

Cuba is one of the safest countries in Latin America. Part of the beauty
of visiting the island nation is being able to walk freely without worrying
about violent crime. However, petty theft does occur and precaution
should be taken. Use common sense and never leave purses, bags, or
other valuables unattended.

What You Can and Can’t Bring Back

There are no longer any Cuba-specific limitations on what visitors can
bring back from Cuba.
