Cuba is a fascinating time capsule that is just starting to be unearthed. Its faded facades and classic cars speak have an iconic appeal, though modern influences are starting to make themselves felt as the country opens up to private businesses and overseas tourists. As the country is still running to catch up with over 60 years of development, you can’t expect a typical vacation experience here.
