Transportation in Cuba


Cuba has many, many antique vehicles and we enjoyed seeing them throughout our recent trip:


Empty highways, above, but maintained well.


Vehicles are often kept in excellent condition, and with the embargo, that has to be enormous effort.


We definitely did the tourist thing!



There are still, many old fashioned ways of transporting here. Most popular are the horse and buggy combos- we saw them everywhere, including on the major highways.



What a truck!




Chatting up some local mechanics, one had an old Studebaker...



Below, a video of our taxi ride on these 3-wheeled vehicles.








The vehicle eye-candy was better than reputed. Nowhere on the planet is there this many old cars.
