Cuba is a place many of us have heard of but never step foot in. What has Cuba been doing the entire time? Pretty much Cuban things, but you’d be surprised just how different the country is compared to ours. Below, we’ll go over 50+ strange, awesome, and fun facts about Cuba!
People Get Around by Hitchhiking
As you’ll learn, Cuba isn’t the most sophisticated country on the planet. That’s not a knock at the country at all. In fact, there are many things about Cuba that we personally wish we had here in the States. However, when it comes to public transportation, the country isn’t doing that well.
While locals and foreign travelers can get around by taxicab, going long distances is a hassle. Your most reliable and affordable mode of transport to get to other cities is by hitchhiking. Back in the day, it was compulsory for government officials to pick up hitchhikers. Imagine getting a ride from your state’s senator!
