During your visit to Cuba, you can expect the weather to range from hot and humid to well, just plain hot and humid! However, this Caribbean oasis can sometimes experience short spells of cool weather but don\u2019t expect it to last long. <\/p>

The first time I visited Cuba was in December, and I absolutely loved the warm weather as I was escaping the chilling temperatures in New York City. I\u2019m also a huge fan of the humidity. I know, call me crazy!<\/p>

As a frequent visitor, I\u2019ve figured out what essential items I need to take with me and what things can stay home. Whether you\u2019re visiting Cuba for five days or two weeks, this complete packing list includes recommendations for the best clothing and electronics to take with you to ensure your vacation is pleasant and hassle-free.<\/p>

What to pack for your Cuba trip <\/h2>

<\/div>

Passport<\/h3>

Let\u2019s start with the first essential item you\u2019ll need to begin your trip, your passport! Before leaving home, be sure to check it\u2019s not expired or close to the expiration date. A good rule of thumb is to ensure your passport doesn\u2019t expire within the next eight months of your travels.  <\/p>

Also, make copies of your passport, leave one at home with friends and family and take the other copies with you.  <\/p>

Cuban tourist visa <\/h3>

Tourist visas are required to enter the country. For U.S. travelers, air carriers including American, Delta, JetBlue, Southwest, and United have visas available for sale in the boarding area at a price ranging from $50-$100. You can also get the visas at the airport. Upon arrival, you will need to fill out the tourist card and show it to customs and immigration officials. <\/p>

Medical insurance <\/h3>

All travelers to Cuba are required to have travel medical insurance. Travel medical insurance must include coverage for medical evacuation, emergencies, and repatriation. U.S. airlines include the mandatory level of travel medical insurance with your ticket purchase. Visitors can buy additional coverage at their discretion.<\/p>

Other travel documents<\/h3>

Regardless of the country, I am visiting, I always bring my photo ID (driver\u2019s license), global entry card, and Airbnb and tour reservation printouts. When I\u2019m out and about, I carry my global entry card.  <\/p>

Luggage<\/h3>

During my first visit, I threw a bunch of unnecessary stuff into a giant suitcase and ended up lugging that thing around Havana. Whenever I moved to a new location, I regretted my poor packing decision. Don\u2019t be like me; pack what you need and pack light! <\/p>

Since my tragic first experience, here\u2019s the luggage I\u2019ve been using that has drastically changed my travel experience for the better:<\/p>
