Friendly and kind-hearted locals

Cubans are really friendly people. Many of them will welcome you with a kind smile. They will converse with almost anyone and appear to spend the majority of their days with others. People sitting outside their homes, talking to neighbors, may be seen walking along the street in Cuba. If you ask a native why they love Cuba, they will tell you about its friendly culture, stunning scenery, and welcoming environment. They are proud of their heritage and optimistic about the future.

Cubans adore visitors and value their visits and contributions to the tourism sector. People will frequently greet you with a "hello," and many will ask where you are from in their finest English. Locals will usually volunteer to interpret, give you directions, or even provide recommendations for places to visit. They are also quite honest—most locals are not trying to rob, steal, or cheat you. If you leave your camera or passport in a cab or a restaurant, you will almost certainly get it back.
