I was looking into visiting Cuba in 2024 but there seems to be a lot of conflicting information. Does anybody have good resources on how best to visit without being put onto a watch list or whatever?

    From what I have heard, Yanks are not allowed to stay at hotels that give money to the Cuban government, which is most of them (I think the Cuban military is somehow involved in the tourism sector).

    So you need to stay in an AirBnB or some non-official residence that is not linked to the gov’t. But as other people have pointed out here you can fly in through Mexico.

      If you get cash you can stay anywhere you want and it’s easy enough to book on arrival. The issue with the b&b thing is that you get the experience of the Cuban PB who are by far the only segment of cuba who support the USA.

    Traveling to Cuba is real easy, Miami Cubans do it all the time. Just go, book a flight to Havana, and there’s a $100 or so process to get your visa at the airport. All you have to do is sign a form from the federal government that lists some reasons for going, just check the box that says “Support for the Cuban People”. Ezpz, watch list be damned, tons of people go back and forth constantly.
