The FCDO is currently advising against all but essential travel to Cuba.

Cuba is experiencing significant disruption to essential infrastructure, including persistent power outages across the country and fuel shortages.

These conditions significantly affect the ability of visitors to access reliable transport, medical care, communications, and basic services.

At this time we are not running any trips to Cuba, however we are in constant contact with our team in Cuba and will continue to monitor government advice.

From 12 May, travelers entering Ecuador from countries with a risk of yellow fever transmission will need to show proof of yellow fever vaccination, if they have spent 10 days or more in one of those countries prior to arrival.

This requirement is unlikely to impact most of our UK or US-based travelers. However, if you're planning to travel to Ecuador via another country, it's worth checking whether that country is on the risk list.

Important: If you're unable to receive the vaccine for medical reasons, you must carry a doctor's certificate stating this.

For a list of affected countries and more information, please visit the official fact sheet.
