Carnet for Cuba

Hi Guys, anyone know if a carnet is required for Cuba. I would ask their Aduana but the web site won't play with my laptop. Ride safe.

I saw an aduana website suggesting not too problematic getting bike into CUba for 30 days, so long as it goes out by time you go...didn't say anything about Carnet..hard to get detailed info.
How you getting your bike to Cuba? I would very much like to do a side trip to Cuba from Mexico mid-Feb. I am flying from Nova Scotia and picking up the bike Friday and heading south.
I know at least one other guy (from Florida) who wants to do the trip as well. Let me know, maybe we can get some kind of economies of scale.
Cheers
Larry

So far no luck on the transportation side. It looks like the "Cancun-Cuba" ferry is still a dream although I keep coming across references to a Miami-Cuba vehicle carrying hydrofoil but as yet haven't found a website for it. Airfreight seems a possibility but initial investigations look like this method will be ruled out because of cost. (For me that is.) I'll be in Mazatlan for the next couple of weeks befor heading off butterfly hunting in Michoacan if you fancy a or three. Ride safe.

after some delays I am finally entering Mexico and heading towards Veracruz and maybe Cancun. I will visit the Cuban consulate in V. and sniff around for boats (cargo carrying ships) and smaller sail boats...I once met a Yank who went to Cuba on his sailboat (not direct of course) and I suspect there are more...

Let's keep in touch on this. If it is doable I'm gone.

Cheers

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
