- Summary:
- While most of Cuba's roads are in good condition, the countryside tells a different story. Few cars are in running order due to the country's isolation from the world, resulting from a nearly 60-year-long US-imposed economic embargo. Cubans have become masters of improvisation, keeping their mostly 1950s vehicles running. Also, in rural areas of Cuba, like on the banks of the river Toa, people like Luis have to rely on bamboo rafts because there are no roads to their farms. Navigating the rushing currents becomes a thrilling and daring adventure, offering a glimpse into an authentic and uncharted Cuba far from the usual tourist paths.
