Reviews Varadero


August 6 2008
Name: Emanuel
Country: Spain

Varadero

I still can't believe that I jumped out of a really old, Russian plane at 8,000 feet in Cuba, but WOW!
Words cannot describe how great it feels. The plane ride up is really scary, as is the part where you have to jump from the plane, but if you can somehow get through that part without having a heart attack, the reward is absolutely unbelievable.
The cost is CUC150, plus CUC30-45 if you want to buy the video (negotiable), but the memory really is priceless. Definitely worth every penny

Country: Canada

Varadero

Rent motorbike and do a tour of peninsula. But don't take too long since your behind will hate you. That is the reason why my plan to visit Matanzas (40km distance) was dropped. Price is 9 CUC hour if rented in resort, 6 CUC hour in Varadero.
