Top Warnings and Dangers in Holguin
Be careful when renting mopeds. This isn’t something you drive every day and accidents are a common occurrence causing broken limbs and other severe injuries.
While the landscape, beautiful flowers, trees appeal to your senses, try not to pick anything without knowing what it is. You will risk allergic reactions or contact with a poisonous plant.
Remember sunblock! In Holguin, there is a dry heat. It’s easy to forget the sun is beating down on you. Keep the sunblock handy to keep the sunburns away.
Alcohol and Cigar shops tend to charge more off resort than they do on. If you can wait, purchase at the duty-free shops on your way home
Transportation, Shopping, Restaurants
While there isn’t much shopping, there is a local market where you will find unique items to remember your trip. Items are handmade and not touristy, like many other tourist destinations.
While you’ll fly into the local airport, city transportation includes Bici Taxis, or bicycle powered riders, and buses with limited routes.
