Advice for Cuba (hexbear.net)

Dear people on this website, I'm strongly considering going on a trip to Cuba soon alone. I'm a decent Spanish speaker and an American, wondering if anyone has any good tips or advice for the trip. I know I want to see that ice cream shop that fidel was obsessed with.

Thanks in advance!

I hear many Americans fly into Mexico City or Cancun and then buy tickets from there to Havana in cash and don't get their passports stamped, just get a visa for a small fee and then pay an exit visa for a small fee. No ATMs on the Island will be accessible to Americans so all money to be used would be brought in cash. Then they fly back to either Mexico City or Cancun and then fly back home after a trip in Mexico. No mention of Cuba.

I haven't done this and I'm not telling you to do this, but others do it.
