But the cars are the stars and you will be amazed at the variety of marks and ingenuity of the Cubans that drive and own them. Most cars have been passed down through the generations like a treasured piece of jewellery. Without access to new cars or parts from the USA many have been lovingly restored and parts Macgyvered together to make these classic machines work. Havana is a must see and you will need a few days to take it all in. Hang out at de Marti and Neptuno Parque Central and prepare to be entertained and amazed at the variety of vehicles chugging and clunking by as the morning rush takes place. Some cars are classics and then some very utilitarian. Most Cuban cars are family sedans that double as Taxi Cabs picking fares up and dropping people in a symphony of synchronised chaos. It’s quite a sight, if you watch them long enough it starts to makes sense.
