Colectivo Taxis in Havana

[Ryan]

"Colectivo" taxis in Havana are public taxis that basically act like small buses. They follow a route, well mostly, or at least sometimes.

Since 2011, they have been able to pick up foreigners.

You'll recognise them. Pre-embargo cars, not nicely fixed up, with a taxi sign in the front.

If you ever need a very cheap (cents) way of getting around Havana in something not remotely approaching comfort but in the mood to have a laugh with some locals, they're the way to go.

They have their own sign language, see video

to me the most difficult is to know where the almendron is going to.

here I think we can see the main routes:
