Let’s be real, travelling in Cuba is intense. We visited Havana, Viñales, and Varadero, and while there’s no denying the beautiful nature and colourful streets, behind the Instagram-worthy retro cars, salsa vibes, and mojitos lies a harsher reality: scams, food poisoning, corruption, poverty, and countless unexpected challenges.

In this episode, we show you the real Cuba — the highs, the lows, and everything in between.
