 General Trip Information 

Lodging and Meals

Depending on team size, teams may stay in the Hotel Horizontes Panamericano Resort, or a different hotel in the Havana area.  We will eat at the church or at someone's home.  Breakfast is provided at the hotel.
 

Overseas Ground Transportation

We will have a 15 passenger van with air conditioning.
 

Currency

The currency for tourists is the CUC.  $10 US is equal to approximately $8 CUC.  The currency for Cubans is the Cuban peso.  
 

Weather

The majority of Cuba enjoys beautiful tropical weather all year round, with the average annual temperature hovering around 80 degrees.  We will be there in the months that are considered the "summer" months, when the temperature is normally in the high 80's and low 90's.  Daytime temperatures in winter, (December, January), rarely drop below 65 degrees.
