Was there in March for 2 wks travelled with my partner. Organized everything, from reserving casas to car rental. Covered most of the west central of Cuba. There are of course a few things one must know if traveling solo, but as a photographer I would't want it any other way.
It's not difficult to find the best places to photograph, blogs-travel-books etc.,but often the best places are those one encounters by chance. And some of those encounters, especially those with locals involved, have proven to be some of the best experiences.
