Cuba Travel Podcast with Yenisel Morales

This podcast follows a single traveller settling in Cuba over a couple of years, learning how the island actually works. Cuba is the largest country in the Caribbean, with a tropical climate that splits the year into a dry season and a rainy season. That rhythm shapes everything from the colour of the hills to the pace of daily life. Episodes range from Havana's streets to the eastern mountains of the Sierra Maestra, the colonial centre of Camagüey and the coastal town of Baracoa. The focus is on the landscapes that give each region its character: flat plains, rolling farmland, and the rugged hills that rise in the southeast. The series unfolds in real time: the dry season arriving in November, the rains returning in May, and the same places appearing again months later as the host goes back to them. That return is the point. Knowing a town in Cuba takes more than a single visit, and the show lets familiarity build by living through two full seasonal cycles. Yenisel Morales lives in Cuba and stays for two years, moving between cities, coastlines and smaller towns on a route that follows the seasons. Not a week-long visit — Yenisel is there in every kind of weather, working out where to eat on an ordinary Tuesday, which train to take, what a festival actually feels like from the pavement. A new episode arrives every day. Each one is short and specific: one neighbourhood, one journey, one meal, one museum worth the detour — with the practical detail that matters. What it costs. When it closes. Whether the queue is worth it. What to do when it rains. Every episode carries a full transcript and chapter markers. ☕ Enjoying the show?
