Any news about Cuba?

Hi, hope everyone is ok, has anyone been here in Cuba after the currency reform?

No, but I talk to people there....they say the shelves are bare. Worse than during the "special period"..... the restrictions to enter, quarantine and all....doesn't make it sound too inviting. They tell me to not think about going, plus I can't find any flights.

If you do go, customs lifted the limits that you can bring as much food items as you want....I'd guess restricted fruits & meats and and whatever would still be restricted.

Não, mas eu converso com as pessoas lá .... dizem que as prateleiras estão vazias. Pior do que durante o "período especial" ... as restrições para entrar, quarentena e tudo ... não parece convidativo. Eles me dizem para não pensar em ir, e não consigo encontrar voos.

Se você for, a alfândega suspendeu os limites de que você pode trazer tantos alimentos quanto quiser ... Eu acho que as frutas e carnes restritas e tudo o mais ainda seria restrito.

Thanks.

I have some friends working there as expats. They told me that the normal shops are always empty. They could get basic food in the US dollar shops, but the queue is always long. The black market exchange rate almost doubles the official one. One of them finally decided to leave, and paid US$10,000 for his one-way ticket. Don’t go there now.

Sorry to be piling on but Cuba has also been experiencing a big rise in covid cases since June, so it is not the ideal time for a visit.
