Driving and onward travel
- Driving: on the right. Foreign licences are valid for 6 months, but fuel is scarce; hiring a car with a driver works better.
- Onward travel in Cuba: Viazul coaches link Havana, Viñales, Trinidad and Santiago, but fuel shortages cancel trips. Shared colectivo taxis booked through casa hosts are often more reliable. Trains are unreliable.
