Local taxi in Cienfuegos

Traveling around in Cuba can be hard sometimes ! There is a highway between north and south - laid by the Russians in the earlies - but to get to off road places - like El Nicho near Cienfuegos - or from Santiago to Baracoa - be prepared !!
Other way to travel around is by rented cars - not that cheap (appr.60 US dollars a day) but the cars are in a good condition and mostly AC is installed.
By train - this is another story - i once will try it !

Getting around - especially for local children - by goat guided taxi's - a fun for them - an attraction for us !
