INTERNET CONNECTION IN CUBA

Before 2015 the access and internet connection to Cuba was really difficult, if not almost impossible. Today, although with some restrictions, you can access the wifi network quickly thanks to the Cuban phone company ETECSA which has installed numerous repeaters in many cities of the island.
 

How does the Internet connection to Cuba work?

In order to connect you to Internet you will need a prepaid navigation card “Nauta” or “Etecsa” which you will find at the airport or at the hotels (where the cost is higher).

The Internet access is very simple: once enabled wifi on your mobile phone or PC select the available network “Wifi Etecsa”. A page will open and you will be asked to insert User Id and Password which you can find on the card.
Once you have entered the required fields, you will be ready to surf the internet! Always remember to disconnect from the wireless network once you have finished browsing so you can use the remaining credit for another session.

 

                                                

 

Wifi network cost in Cuba

In Cuba you can choose from three different types of internet cards:

- 30 minute card at 0.5 CUC
- 1 hour card at 1 CUC
- 5 hour card at 5 CUC

We remind you that no matter where you find the hotspot wi-fi, the internet connection in Cuba is never free and if you stay in a hotel you will need a prepaid card in any case.
Be careful, because hotels often give the possibility to purchase the card directly at check-in with a price higher than the Etecsa points.
