I’m visiting Havana in January, staying at a casa particular in Vedado. What is the best way to get to Fusterlandia (Jaimanitas)? Is there a taxi particular route that goes there?
Hi,
There is a taxi particular route that would go to Fusterlandia. The best way is to get to Linea street in Vedado. It runs parallel to 23rd street. You take the taxi going west. Not all taxis will go as far as Jaimanitas. You might have to ask a few taxis particulares until you finally hit one that says yes. Once a driver says yes, get in the taxi and once you pass the tunnel out of Vedado, just mention that you want to get off near Fusterlandia, and he will tell you when to get off. The trip will cost 20cup (mn). The driver might offer to drop you off directly in front of the place if you pay him a bit more.. Maybe 2cuc. In my opinion, it is a deal, and I would take the offer, just for the convenience.
There are also yellow and black buses that run along Linea and follow the same taxi routes. I am not sure if all of them go to Jaimanitas. But you can ask the drivers. If they do, you can take those buses. They are the same as taxis particulares, just in bus form. The price will be 10cup (mn) I think, so it’s even a bit cheaper.
If you find that no drivers are willing to take you from vedado to Jaimanitas, then just take any taxi going west on Linea, and ask them to take you to the “paradero” in Miramar… As far as I know, almost all the taxis particulares on Linea will go there. Its like the mid point between Jaimanitas and Vedado. It’s the main bus stop in the area. From the paradero you can take another taxi to Jaimanitas pretty easily.
I hope this helps. Have fun in cuba.

Thank you, Mario! I bought your book and it’s great. May I suggest you have an index in future editions?
