coco taxis and camellos

Transportation in Havana cuba, you would think that it would just be a average taxi that we have in america, but its not its not its a downsized little coconut looking thing hence the name.  Although they may be small they can reach very high speeds. You may ride in this like any other taxi, to go to your hotel or even for sight seeing around Havana .



 Another source of transportation is camellos. Which are large heavy hump-backed 18 wheeler trucks with bus like carriers  that can pack over 300 people in them. They come by every 10 to 15 minutes like a city bus but they are just alot cooler to look at. So transportation in cuba isn't alot different that the transportation in america they use taxis just like us and they also use buses. The difference is that they are alot more fun than the transportation in america.


I would love to ride in the coco taxis! They would make me feel like I was in a gocart driving down the road and I just think that they would have to put you in a good mood because they look so silly. If i were to ride in the Camello I think I would  get really bus sick because it doesn't look like it is the comfiest ride in the world. Also I wouldn't want to be so crowded which Camellos are.
