An Afternoon in Morón, Cuba (Photos)

In the Ciego de Ávila province of central Cuba, Morón is the closest city to the resort areas of Cayo Coco and Cayo Guillermo. Had we known that the resort areas were merely hotel zones, we might not have come. However, since most visitors did not venture out of their resorts unless in guided tours, we were afforded a relatively tourist-free glimpse into a real Cuban city -- devoid of Hemingway attractions and women in costume posing with cigars. We loved it.

Tens of thousands of Americans do travel without US government authorization (or punishment) every year via Mexico, Canada, Grand Cayman, the Bahamas and Jamaica. It is now also possible for virtually anyone with a serious purpose to go in a legal group, or to organize one.

How did they get to Cuba? I am retired and my wife and I have wanted to vacation in Cuba for over 20 years. Guess only the chosen ones get to Cuba. My wife's family from Germany gets to go, but not us as American Citizens. Does that make sense?

We live in Toronto, so it's very easy for us to get there. We meet lots of Americans there every time we go.

Book your trip departing and arriving out of the US. i.e., in and out of Canada.
