On '''Cuba''' people with a private car are required to pick up hitchhikers. This sounds goodbut actually less then 40 % of the cars passing by are private cars and traffic in total is pretty low already. There are yellow police officers who stop cars and oblige the driver to give a lift to the people waiting on the street. Nevertheless the "amraillos" who are supposed to stop the car and ask the driver where he/she is going compain that less and less cars actually stop. However it s common to pay the driver.[[Image:Amarillo.jpg|thumb|right|200px|[[User:fabzgy|Fabzgy]] took this pictures while hitchhiking in [[Cuba]], the two guys dressed in yellow pants and shirts are the "amarillos"]]

==Hitchhiking a [[boat ]] out of Cuba==
You can search at the ''Marina Hemingway'' (Tel: 204 5088 from La Habana) in Jamanitas, [[La Habana]].
You can get there by taking the P1 Bus to Playa and change there to a Bus to Santa Fe (420). The round trip should cost not mre then 0.80 Moneda Nacional.
There are boats leaving to [[Florida]], [[Mexico]] and other Caribbean Islands.
High Season is from December to March/April but there are always some boats.
Ask around at the Port office, these people know who is in the marina and who is planing to leave.
Note: The Emigration requires you to go with your captain 72 hours before departure to the Imigration office to enroll you on the list of passengers. If you can 't make it 72 hours before departure a little tip might do the trick as well.
