Arrival Strategy for Varadero How to manage jetlag based on arrival time
Upon morning arrival, immediately engage with natural sunlight and stay active. Consider a light breakfast and gentle walking tour to reset your circadian rhythm.
Afternoon arrivals should balance rest and activity. Take a short nap if needed, but limit it to 30 minutes to prevent deeper sleep disruption.
Evening arrivals should aim for immediate sleep alignment. Have a light meal, avoid heavy alcohol, and try to sleep according to local time to minimize jetlag impact.

Currency The official currency is the Cuban peso (CUP). Most everyday transactions for locals use CUP. Foreign visitors increasingly pay for many services—especially in hotels, higher‑end restaurants, and car rentals—via international credit/debit cards or in foreign currencies such as euros, Canadian dollars, or pounds sterling, depending on the provider. U.S.-issued cards often do not work due to sanctions. Cash access can be unreliable, ATMs may not accept foreign cards, and exchange rates can differ between official and informal markets, so travelers commonly bring sufficient foreign cash (non‑USD is often more practical) and change money as needed through official channels.
