Using the search, I realized that you can take out at least an elephant from there, that no one speaks Russian, and that there is a lot of anthropogenic damage. But what season should you choose for your trip? I've never been anywhere south of the Black Sea and I don't know what seasons to go fishing in the tropics. What do you recommend?

The main thing is to immediately determine which hemisphere is southern or northern.In the southern hemisphere,winter is more plentiful for finds,while in the northern hemisphere, of course, the opposite is true.As for Cuba, you can go there at any time, just like in Peru.Just know where and why

Regional State Administration, sps. That's what I thought about the equator. By the way, they wrote here that no one in Cuba speaks English. And I've heard that almost every second Cuban knows Russian. Is it so?

14.01.2009 14:52, taler

I don't think so.And why Cuba?There are more well trodden countries in that regions

Vladimir (Vabrus), try to find sites with check lists of the entomofauna of this region (there is hardly anything about Cuba itself). And on these sites, see the approximate composition of the entomofauna, dates of summer, dates of capture, in the end, dates of photographing insects. Thus, even if it is based on indirect data, it is possible to understand the most "productive" periods of the year. Here, as a near-perfect example, is a Japanese Southeast Asian website:

Thank you, mikee, and I will.

In Cuba, everything is always good. It is better from October to January, but in summer it is also not bad, slightly different species fly. People are normal, like under socialism. Good luck!

Thanksmile.gif you I hope that everything will grow together and all the ideas will come true.

In Cuba, Russians (Soviet) are quite well treated.


Cuba, indeed, is ready to accept Russian citizens even without a passport. Only our people won't let you out. However, this does not change the fact that the country is poor with all the consequences. For example, in Havana, the crime situation is very bad, with the exception of a few beaches. A friend of mine was robbed of a bag with a camera and documents last year. The Consulate of the Russian Federation is not surprised by such cases - it is there in the order of things

Harsh. Well, we'll have to prepare for everything...

What is this Varadero?

16.01.2009 22:20, swerig

The most famous resort in Cuba

I want to slightly correct your, in my opinion, very erroneous opinion about the export from Cuba. I'm not an entomologist, but I'm a bit interested in it. On my first trip to Cuba(December 2011), I was influenced by the advice of a good friend of mine, and he had this opinion from one long-ago trip to Cuba (December 2004) - like,, take what you want from here just come again,,. Such relaxation let me down! I caught a couple of dozen scolopendras, packed them in film boxes and put them in my carry-on luggage, and put extra cigars in my suitcase, although I don't smoke myself, but as a gift to my friends and a little bit to recapture the cost of the trip. At Varadero airport, with centipedes in my hand luggage, I went through, but was called on the speakerphone because of extra cigars. Since I was alone and had no one to give my carry-on luggage to, I had to return with it. I was waiting for the opening of the suitcase and a terrible SCHMON than I have ever seen in my life. This sick Black customs officer turned over and opened everything that was possible, examined every detail from all sides with special love each of the remaining condoms (which I then immediately threw away naturally). Now I have two confiscation certificates in Spanish at home, as a reminder of the strong friendship between Russia and Cuba. They took the scolopendra and,, extra,, cigars, left epiphytic bromeliads and mangroves.

! and you're also complaining!

As far as I understand, you didn't have any permissions? Bromeliads clearly have a commercial value.

I do not know of a country where, after the discovery of such a "product", not only the protocol was not drawn up, but it was also returned.

I just do not complain, I still then circled them around my finger, and just two months later, of course, they did not have time to forget me there and again shmonali, but in addition to the three bottles of rum of 0.7 liters and 50 cigars (I bought the rest in Dutik), nothing could be found. All that I caught, I sent from Liberty Island on the previous flight, and I myself, except for bromeliads and mangroves (which can be exported from Cuba), did not carry anything. So everything I needed had already passed the green corridor in Moscow, at the time of the shmon. Just a friend of mine who was in Cuba in 2004 was escorted out of the Island of Freedom with the words, " TAKE EVERYTHING YOU WANT, JUST COME AGAIN!", he also had no permits, and he was also fined at the entrance to Russia by maraders in uniform. Moreover, he himself saw how they divided his inscribed vegetation. And I was just trying to tell the person who read, "drive at least an elephant," that this is not quite true,or rather not at all!!!

In fact, this attitude, especially not to torment tourists, is common in many countries. Therefore, the chances of getting caught are not great, but getting caught is highly discouraged.

Kostroma residents ' adventures in Cuba? Anatoly are you visiting Molbiol?

Kostroma residents ' adventures in Cuba? Anatoly are you visiting Molbiol?

Yes, it's me Tolyan from Kostroma ( I couldn't register, or log in, which is more correct), it turns out only to be a guest. We bring suitcases of gifts to Cuba, from spare parts for vases to clothes and mobile phones, but it's still a problem to take out what we caught ourselves! What can you do!!! and who are you?

18.03.2012 21:30, captolabrus

I am a friend of Igor Chekalov

Gut, I will definitely pass it on.
