Mexico's free travel strategy and Cuba's tourism strategy

This strategy mainly talks about some strategies of Cuba and Mexico, which are the basic information that everyone can see. Now Bian Xiao will tell you some relevant information. Now let's see what is useful.

money

Credit card > cash withdrawal > foreign exchange, so credit cards can be used whenever possible. Generally, restaurants and shops in Mexico can use credit cards, but Cuba can't use credit cards, except cigar factories, which must exceed 100CUC, and a 3% handling fee will be charged.

Cash withdrawal is more cost-effective than foreign exchange. Before we set out, we got a debit card from Nanjing Bank. Bank of Nanjing does not charge cash handling fees, and the acquirer charges fees according to its own requirements.

Mexico

The cash withdrawal fee is charged according to the number of times, 30 pesos each time, so you can take more at a time. The maximum amount you can choose at the ATM is 4000 pesos, but you can enter the withdrawal amount yourself. I wonder how much you can take at most. Anyway, it's definitely no problem for an individual to take 6000 pesos.

If you want to exchange US dollars for Mexican pesos from Mexico City, you can exchange them directly at the airport. I never expected that Mexico City Airport had the highest exchange rate. If things change when you leave, please leave me alone. I didn't pay attention to the exchange rate at Cancun airport, but the exchange rate at the hotel is quite high.

visa

Mexico

You can enter and leave Mexico with an American visa, so all five of us have obtained an American visa. There are many strategies for American visas on the Internet, so I skipped them to reduce the space (in fact, I am still lazy.

Phone card/phone card

Just buy one from Taobao. The United States and Mexico are universal. Pay attention to whether you can use personal hotspots.

We didn't buy a WiFi card from Cuba. It is said that it is a little troublesome to use, and we only stayed for three days, so we will cut off the internet bar when we are disconnected. Surprisingly, there is still an unstable network in the landlord's home, so I made do with it.

luggage

Actually, I just want to remind you that Mexico City belongs to the plateau, and the temperature difference is great. I want to wear a down jacket when I go out in the morning, and I just want to wear a floral skirt at noon. It is best to bring a small coat in spring and autumn. I don't wear down jacket because I'm afraid of the cold, but the box is just a floral skirt. what can I do?

If you go to Yucatan Peninsula, remember to bring snorkeling equipment (provided you have it. You can also rent it on site, 70 pesos. There are several online celebrity caves in Yucatan Peninsula, which are worth visiting.

connect

The official language of Mexico and Cuba is Spanish, and the English penetration rate is not very high, but it does not affect travel at all. Just making a gesture. After all, I can only say "thank you". When I was in Cuba, I once exchanged a bag of white rabbit toffee with an aunt for a bottle of mineral water. I don't know if she can understand English, but in the end, the communication succeeded.

However, you still need to download Googletranslator APP, the artifact.

vehicle

Start with a large traffic form.

plane

This trip set a record for the most flights, with a total of 10 flights! If you can't hold a domestic flight in Mexico, no matter where you go, you will definitely return to Mexico City for transit.

The flight from Shanghai to Mexico City is American Airlines. I have always suspected that this is a low-cost airline. The narrow seats definitely meet the standards of low-cost airlines, and the food is terrible. Flight attendant, oh no, it's the empty mother who doesn't look good (is it too much to ask?

I took Aeromexico once and interjet three times in Mexico. I don't remember Aeromexico. Let me talk about love and hate. Is this really a low-cost airline? Why are the seats so wide? Will also send food and drink (although only snacks, no hot food? Can I check 25 kg of luggage for free and carry 10 kg of luggage? Completely refreshed my understanding of low-cost airlines.

Focus! ! ! It is suggested to buy an air ticket of Interjet in official website. The page is in Spanish, because it will be much cheaper. However, websites with Spanish pages always have various problems, either jumping back to English pages for a long time or having payment problems. I almost collapsed, but I never gave up because I lacked ambition.

bus

1. The bus stop in Mexico City is North Bus Station. The bus ticket office of Sun Moon Pyramid is on the left facing the bus stop, counter 8. There is a bus every 15 minutes. You can buy a round trip ticket directly. There is no time limit for the return trip. Just catch the last bus. As for the time of the last bus, I don't remember, but believe me, you won't be around that long.

There are several companies that run buses to San Miguel, and we found two, with more expensive 540 flights and fewer cheap 450 flights. Be sure to choose the cheap one, hahaha. Because it takes more than three hours to drive, the journey is tiring, so we bought first-class seats, which are actually the first two rows of seats in the car, which are very spacious and comfortable.

3. From Oaxaca to Mount alban, we took the AutobusesTuristicos bus at Mina50 1, and the round trip was 55 pesos.

Take a taxi

When we saw the private car reversing quickly (at least ten meters) on the road in Mexico City, we finally understood why four people could be crowded in the back of the taxi. This is really a country with arbitrary traffic rules. In this way, Mexico is suitable for five people to travel together, hahaha.

Mexico: If you take a taxi at the airport or bus station, you need to buy a ticket at the taxi ticket office inside the airport or bus station. Fares are divided by geographical area and vehicle size, not counting kilometers. We honestly bought tickets and took a taxi when we got out of the airport, because there was no reference price and it was not convenient to carry luggage. The bus station was going to buy tickets, but the staff told us the price, which scared us to walk a block and then take a taxi on the side of the road. Tickets are quite expensive.

I think there are many problems with taxi meters in Mexico City. Some taxi meters simply jump at a high speed. The first time we took a taxi to the North Bus Station, it was 40 pesos, and the second time was 100 pesos. However, because taking a taxi is not expensive, we can forget it, as long as the driver is happy. Of course, if you are not at ease, it is ok to discuss the price before getting on the bus.

Cuba: In my impression, the taxis in downtown Havana are several times that of 3CUC, whether it is 1km, 2km or 3km. Didn't you say to bargain at 0.5- 1CUC/ km? It doesn't work.

Let's get in touch with the landlord from the airport to casa, one for 30CUC, and two for five of us. This price is a bit steep, because we finally went to the airport and found a taxi for seven people, only 30CUC. If four people take a car, it is generally 20-25CUC. It is suggested that the airport come out and stop at the arrival floor on the second floor. It is said that it will be cheaper than the first floor.

be self-drive

The wife of Yucatan Peninsula is so suitable for self-driving, except that the road is too straight and she will feel sleepy when driving. No problem. The oil price is low, less than 6 yuan RMB per liter. The only thing to watch out for is bad cops. Looking at other raiders, it is mentioned that the police deliberately deceive foreign tourists, which we have not encountered.

The car we rented on the rental car, including insurance, totaled *** 1348 yuan.

visa

China passport is visa-free, but a tourist card is required for entry and exit. If you want to enter Cuba from Mexico, you don't need to go through it in advance. You only need to buy a tourist card at the check-in gate of the flight from Mexico to Havana, each of which costs 250 pesos. You can't modify it or you have to buy it again.
