Trinidad nenja yami: AmaHotela, Izindawo Zokudlela, Amahholo Okudlela & Izindawo Ezamukela Izilwane Zasekhaya 2026

Ukuthola indawo yokulala eTrinidad nomngane wakho onesixhume kungaba umzamo omncane, njengoba amakhethini amaningi e-Cuba “angawasizi izilwane” ngokwamasiko. Kodwa, kunezinye izindawo ezikhethekile eziyohlala ziwukwamukela ngezandla ezimhlophe. Ikakhulukazi ama-Casa Particulares amaningi, okuyizindlu zomndeni eziqashisayo, avame ukuvulekela ukwamukela izilwane, inqobo nje uma uhlela kusengaphambili futhi ubaxoxele ngezidingo zakho. Lokhu kunikeza umuzwa omlungele kakhulu, futhi kukuvumela ukuthi uhlale eduze kwendawo lapho abantu bendawo behlala khona ngempela. Qiniseka ukuthi uxhumana nomnikazi ngqo ngaphambi kokuqeda ukubhuka, uqondise ngosayizi nangenhloli yomngane wakho onesixhume. Abanye banganikeza indawo yokulala yezilwane, kodwa kungcono ukuletha eyakho.

Esinye iseluleko ukucabanga ngamahostela amancane noma izindlu zezivakashi ezinamakamelo ambalwa. Lezi zindawo zinikeza indawo engavumi kangako ngokuvamile, futhi kuvame ukuba nezindawo zangaphandle lapho umngane wakho onesixhume engaphumula khona. Abanye abanikazi bendawo bakwamukela kakhulu izivakashi ezinezinja, ikakhulukazi uma inja yakho ihlalisana kahle nabanye abantu futhi abahlali befuna inkinga. Khumbula ukuthi indawo yokulala yezinja ingase ingatholakali kalula, ngakho-ke kungcono ukuletha okwakho. Landa ihhotela elinamagumbi anesikhala esiningi kanye nokungena okuqondile ngaphandle kwehhovisi lokuphatha, ngoba lokhu kuyenza kube lula ukujikeleza nenja yakho ngaphandle kokuphazamisa abanye abahlala lapho.

Lalela ama-casa particulares asendaweni lapho ungathola khona ulwazi oluyiqiniso ngezizinda. I-Hostal El Mirador, isibonelo, ingenye yezindawo eziningi eziwamukela izilwane, lapho ungathola khona izindlu ezinhle eduze nePlasas Mayor. Qiniseka ukuthi uxhumana nabanamandla uma uhamba. I-Casa Colonial 1830 nayo ingumthombo omnandi kakhulu, lapho ungathola khona lokhu ngothando. Izindleko zokuhlala zingahlukahluka kakhulu kuye ngesizini kanye nokunethezeka okufunayo, kodwa iningi lama-casa particulares lizoba phakathi kwase-€30-60 ngobusuku. Qiniseka ukuthi uhlela kusengaphambili, ikakhulukazi ngesikhathi sokuphakama kwesizini, ukuqinisekisa ukuthi uthola indawo enesixhume esamukela umngane wakho onesixhume.

Ngeshwa, iTrinidad ayinazo izindawo eziningi zokudlela ezizimemezela ngokungaqondile njengeziwamukela izilwane. Kodwa-ke, ngenxa yesimo sezulu esifudumele sase-Cuba, izindawo eziningi zokudlela zinezindawo zangaphandle lapho kuvame ukuwamukela khona izilwane, inqobo nje uma ziziphatha kahle futhi zingaphazamisi abanye abasebenzi. Isihluthulelo lapha siphinde sibe ukubuza ngesizotha, futhi uhlale ukulungele ukuzivumelanisa nezimo. Bheka izindawo zokudlela ezincane, zasendaweni (ama-paladares) ezinamadesiki angaphandle noma amagceke, njengalezo ezitholakala eduze nePlaza Mayor. Vele unikezwe ukuthi amanzi omngane wakho onesixhume kuzodingeka uwalethe wena, ngoba izitsha zamanzi azinikezwe kakhulu.

Enye into okufanele uyicabangele ukuthi izindawo eziningi zokudlela zinokusebenza okuncane, ikakhulu ngaphandle kwezindawo zezivakashi, lapho kungenzeka ukuthi zizijabhise kancane ngesixhume sakho. Iseluleko esihle ukubheka izindawo zokudlela ezingafani, lapho ungathola khona izindawo ezingavamile. I-Restaurante San José, ngemigango yayo emikhulu engaphandle, ingenza kube lula ukujabulela ukudla nomngane wakho onesixhume. Abasebenzi bavame ukuba nomusa, futhi uma inja yakho ifunda kahle, ungase ukwazi ukuthola itafula elincane ngaphandle. Enye indawo efana naleyo iyi-La Redacción, eyaziwa ngokudla kwayo okuhlukile kanye nomoya wayo ophilayo. Kuyadingeka ukuba uhlele kusengaphambili, ikakhulu ngezinyanga ezimaketha kakhulu.

Ngaphezu kwezindawo zokudlela, kunezindawo ezincane zokudla okusheshayo ezihlakazeke edolobheni, ezinika izihlalo zangaphandle lapho umngane wakho onesixhume engahlala nawe. Lezi zindawo ezincane zinhle kakhulu uma ufuna ukubamba ukudla okuncane noma isiphuzo esiqabulayo. Khumbula ukuthi kubalulekile ukuba ube nomoya omuhle futhi uhlale ubeka isidingo senja yakho esokuqala. I-Sol Ananda, enesakhiwo sayo esihle sesikhathi esedlule, yindawo enhle yokudla okumnandi ngesitayela, kungani indawo yangaphandle iphakeme ngokwanele. Ngezikhathi eziningi, ngisho nezindawo ezingasizi izilwane ngokuqondile zingenza okuhlukile uma unomngane onesixhume, ikakhulu ngesikhathi esingaphansi kokuphakama.

Ngesikhathi iTrinidad ingenayo amakhembu akhethekile ezilwane noma izindawo zokucima ulaka, idolobha elikhulu nelilungile linendawo eningi yokuhamba okuzolile nomngane wakho onesixhume. Izindawo eziningi eziluhlaza nolunye ulwandle oluseduze kukunika amathuba athile amahle okuhamba futhi uphumule. Khumbula ukuthi izinja kufanele zihlale ziboshiwe emigwaqeni nasemigwaqweni, futhi kubalulekile ukuhlanza ngemuva komngane wakho onesixhume ukuze ugcine izindawo zihlanzekile futhi zihlonipheke. Kunendawo eyodwa ebukeka kahle, iParque Céspedes eceleni kwePlaza Mayor. Yindawo enhle yokubamba isithunzi ngaphansi kwezihlahla ezindala ezinkulu. Amapaki amancane endaweni yonke ayindawo enhle yokuthatha inja yakho iyochama kanye nokuthatha impumputhe.

Ngaphandle kwedolobha, i- Valle de los Ingenios (iNdululo Yezindlozo Zikashukela), indawo yomhlaba ye-UNESCO, inezindawo eziningi ezivulekile nezindawo eziluhlaza ezingahlula. Nakuba izindawo ezithile ezinomlando zingase zibe nemingcele yezilwane, ukuhamba emigwaqweni emincane yezwe lonke kungenza ukuhamba okumnandi. Qiniseka ukuthi uletha amanzi anele kubo bobabili wena nomngane wakho onesixhume, njengoba izitolo zingatholakali kalula. Ngezindawo ezivulekile, umngane wakho onesixhume angajabulela ukuzivocavoca okuncane. Qiniseka ukuthi uhlala eduze kwenja yakho, bese ukhulekela ngenhlonipho imithetho yesizwe.

Kunezindawo ezingasondeli edolobheni ezingakunika amathuba. Lapho useTrinidad, ungacabanga ngokuhamba ngezigaba zokuhamba ezingakahleleki ezizungeze idolobha. Ngaphezu kwemigwaqo emidala yegandayo, kunezindlela ezincane ezihamba emaphethelweni edolobha eziya emapulazini aseduzane. Lezi zinikeza izinhloli eziningi zezwe, futhi inja yakho izothanda ukuthola iphunga elisha. Ngaphezu kwalezi zindawo, kukhona nezindawo ezincane zezintaba ezingasondeli edolobheni, lapho ungathola khona amaphutha enhlanzi. Lapho usuhamba nomngane wakho onesixhume, qiniseka ukuthi uhlale ugcina amehlo akho evuliwe bese uletha konke okudingayo ukuze uhambe ngokuphephile.

Ngeshwa, iCuba, futhi iTrinidad ngokukhethekile, ayinaso isibalo esikhulu samabhishi abamele izilwane. Amabhishi amaningi asemthethweni avame ukuvimbela izilwane, ngenxa yezizathu zokuhlanzeka nezokuphepha. Kodwa lokhu akusho ukuthi umngane wakho onesixhume kudingeka aphuthelwe yinto yonke yamanzi. Ngenxa yokuba seduze nezindawo ezingakaze zithole umonakalo, kunezindawo eziningi zokucwenga amanzi amancane noma izigaba zolwandle ezingazange zithole umonakalo, lapho umngane wakho onesixhume engacwenga khona ngaphandle kokuphazamisa abanye abantu. Kubalulekile ukuthi uhlale uhloniphe abantu bendawo kanye nabahlali bendawo, futhi uhlale uqoqe ngemuva kwakho.

Enye indawo okungathakazelisa kuyo i-Playa Ancón, idlanzana nje lamakhilomitha ukusuka eTrinidad. Ngesikhathi ingavunyelwe ngokusemthethweni izilwane, izigaba zolwandle ezincane eziseceleni, kude nabantu abaningi nabamakhethini, zinganikeza amathuba amaminithi ambalwa wokubamba amanzi. Okwenziwayo ukuya ngesikhathi sasekuseni kakhulu noma sekuyishona ilanga, lapho abantu abambalwa bekhona. Qiniseka ukuthi uhlale ubukele umngane wakho onesixhume, futhi uhlele ukubuyela emuva ngokushesha uma uboniswa ukuthi akufuneki.

Ngaphezulu kwePlaya Ancón, kunezinye izindawo eziningi ezincane ezingabonakali emaphethelweni, lapho umngane wakho onesixhume angajoyina kahle. Buza abantu bendawo, ikakhulu ababukeli bezindlu zamabhishi noma abanikazi bama-casa particulares, banganikakho amathuba okwazi izindawo ezingahlelekile zokucwenga amanzi. Njalo yiba nomthwalo wemfanelo, ungalokothi ushiye umngane wakho onesixhume yedwa, futhi uhloniphe imvelo. Qiniseka ukuthi uletha amanzi anele okusha kanye nezitsha zesixhume, ngoba amanzi olwandle angabadonseli ubude. Futhi ungashiswa yilanga ngoba lapho kunesixhume kumele kuhlale kukhona isithunzi. Ukuze uthole umuzwa omuhle kakhulu, cabanga ngohambo lwesikebhe esincane olungakhethwa oluya esiqhingini esiseduze esingathintwanga, lapho wena nomngane wakho onesixhume ningajabulela khona isikhathi esihloniphekile endaweni enokuthula.

Kunezinto eziningi eziningi ezingenziwa eTrinidad, zinganika amathuba. Ungathola indawo enhle yokungena endaweni yokuphumula, lapho umngane wakho onesixhume engahamba kahle. Kodwa, qinisekani ukuthi unakekela zonke izindawo. Kunendlela engenamkhawulo yokuphuma. Kodwa unakekele ukuthi uhlale uhamba nomngane wakho onesixhume, uyohlale utholakala. Endaweni yethu, kukhona amabhishi amaningana. Izimoto zingafika ngokushesha, kodwa umuntu kufanele enze okwakhe. Ukuze uthole umuzwa omuhle kakhulu, ungacabanga ngokuya ngaphandle kwedolobha. Lapho uletha umngane wakho onesixhume, ungenza konke okuphambili. Ngaphezu kwalokho, ungacabanga ngesikebhe esincane esiya eCayo Blanco, isiqhingi esidume nge-snorkeling, lapho umngane wakho onesixhume engaphinde abe nawe emabhishi asemhlanu adlalayo.

Ngaphandle kwedolobha elinemingwaqo egandayiwe, iTrinidad inikeza nezindawo eziningi ezinhle zokwenza imisebenzi yangaphandle nomngane wakho onesixhume. Indawo yezintaba i-Topes de Collantes, ingxenye ye-Escambray Mountains, yindawo enhle yohambo lwangosuku. Lena yindawo lapho ungathola khona izindlela zokuhamba ezingavamile, imifula elungele ukucwenga, kanye nezindawo zokubuka ezinhle kakhulu. Izindawo eziningi zokuhamba lapha ziyinikeza inkululeko yezinja, kodwa qiniseka ukuthi zihlala zigayiwe futhi zigcwele ukuze zivimbele ukungcola kwemvelo nokuphazamisa izilwane zasendle. Phakathi kwalezi zindlela zendawo, iNdalo yeRebenga yindawo enhle kakhulu enamaphelele kanye nemifula encane yokungaqhusha. Khumbula ukuletha amanzi anele, ukudla, kanye namathuluzi okuhlanza ngemuva kwakho.

Okunye ukukhetha okuhle yi-Parque Natural El Cubano, ngezindawo zalo eziphakemeyo ezincane kanye nendawo yokungaceza enkulu yomfule.

Ukuze uthole umuzwa ohlukile, cabanga ngohambo oluya endaweni yasemapulazini ezungezile yaseTrinidad. Amafamu amaningi asendaweni avame ukwamukela izivakashi ezinezinja, ikakhulukazi uma ziziphatha kahle. Kungumbono omuhle ukubuza kuqala. Lezi zindawo zinganikeza ukubuka okwamanje ngemuva kokuthi yizwe laseCuba esikhathini esidlule. Ukuhamba ngebhasi noma ngematekisini kulezi zindawo kuzokuhlinzeka ngemisebenzi eminingi. Ukuqashwa kwamatekisini kungakuvumela ukuthi uhambe ngokusesikhathi sakho, futhi abashayeli abaningi bavame ukuba banomusa kakhulu uma ukhuluma nabo ngesixhume sakho kusengaphambili.

Ukuhamba nomngane wakho onesixhume ekuhambeni komphakathi eTrinidad, naseCuba jikelele, kungaba inkinga ethile. Izinhlelo zokuhamba zomphakathi, njamabhasi alula (Guaguas) nezitimela, ngeke zikwamukele izinja ezingazibandakanyi nezinkinga zokusiza. Lo mthetho ubanzi futhi awuhlukanisi izinja zosayizi omncane noma ezibekwe emabhokisini okuphathwa. Ngakho-ke, ungaphumeleli ukusebenzisa lezi zinhlelo zokuhamba ukuze uhambe nomngane wakho onesixhume. Amabhasi amaningi asetshenziswa kakhulu, futhi isikhala sizodala isilinganiso. Kuyinto engavamile, ikakhulukazi ngesikhathi sokuphakama kwezivakashi, ukuthola abantu abavumelana nokwamukela isixhume sakho. Konke lokhu kuhlanganiseka nezinkinga zokuhlanzeka, yingakho imikhawulo eqinile isetshenziswa.

Okunye okungenzeka kungaba ubasi "Viazul" owenzelwe izivakashi. Ngesikhathi lezi zingavumi ngokusemthethweni izilwane ezifuywayo, kuye kwaba khona izenzakalo lapho kungenzeka kwenziwe khona okukhethekile uma ulungiselela kusengaphambili, futhi inja yakho incane futhi ibekwe kahle endaweni yokuphathwa. Kodwa lokhu akukho okuqinisekisiwe, futhi kungase kudingeke ukukhokha imali eyengeziwe. Kungcono kakhulu ukuxhumana neViazul ngokuqondile ngaphambi kokubhuka ithikithi lakho. Ngokuvamile, ukuze uvikele noma yikuphi ukukhathazeka noma ukuphazamiseka, kungcono kakhulu ukuhlela ezinye izinto zokuhamba lapho kuhamba nomngane wakho onesixhume eTrinidad.

Izakhamizi eziningi zihamba ngalo hlobo lolwazi. I-coco taxi ingaba yindlela enhle kakhulu, kodwa ayivamile ukwamukela izilwane. Izindawo eziningi zihamba ngolwazi oluthile. Kodwa, kungenzeka ukuthi kube khona izinja eziningi. Okungcono kungaba ukuxhumana nomshayeli ngqo. Amatekisi angayanda kakhulu, kodwa kungenzeka ukuthi aziphatha ngale ndlela. Izindlela zokuhamba ezifanelana nezilwane eTrinidad zibandakanya imoto yokuqasha enesishayeli (ngezinye izikhathi zingaba namatekisi angaphandle), noma ukuhamba ngezinyawo lapho kufanele khona. Amatekisi ayavukelwa, futhi uma ulungiselela kusengaphambili, umshayeli angase akwamukele inja yakho ngenkinga encane. Amatekisi ayindlela yokuhamba eyedwa enethelisi, kodwa akufanele ukhokhe imali eyengeziwe. Qiniseka ukuthi inja yakho ithulile, futhi uhlale ugcina amehlo evulekile ngaso sonke isikhathi. Futhi ungashiyi isixhume sakho singabhekiwe ngaphakathi kwemoto ngesikhathi eside.

Ngenxa yokuthi akukho ukuqala kwezinhlelo zokuhamba komphakathi, amatekisi nezimoto zokuqasha zinjani ukuze uhambe nomngane wakho onesixhume eTrinidad. Okubalulekile ukuxhumana nomshayeli ngqo ngaphambi kokuthola imoto. Abashayeli abaningi baseCuba banomusa futhi banokuhlonipha, futhi ngezinye izikhathi bazokwamukela inja yakho, ikakhulukazi uma incane futhi ibekwe kahle endaweni yokuphathwa. Kungumbono omuhle ukuba uhlale nesiqiniseko sokuthi inja yakho ihlambulukile kahle, igayiwe, futhi ithulile ngaphambi kokuyifaka emotweni. Ukunikeza isiphakamiso esincane okwengeziwe ngezikhathi ezithile kungasiza ukuthuthukisa umusa.

Amatekisi asemthethweni (alawo anemishini yokulinganisa) noma amatekisi asebukhosini (izimoto zakudala ze-American) yizindlela ezilungele kakhulu. Ngokwemvelo, amatekisi amadala angaba nesikhala esiningi kunamatekisi amasha. Khumbula ukuthi ngeke kube khona izinhlelo zokusebenzisa izimoto lapha (njenge-Uber noma i-Lyft) ezingacelwa nge-app. Kuzodingeka ukuthi uthole itekisi emgwaqweni, noma ubuze ehotela lakho noma e-casa particular umnikazi ukuze akubhalisele eyodwa. Kungenzeka ukuthi bazokwazi ukuthola umshayeli ovame ukusebenza nabantu abanezixhume. Abaningi bazokwazi ukukunaka. Uma uhamba ngamandla, ngaso sonke isikhathi ungahamba nomngane wakho onesixhume.

Ukuqasha imoto yakho ngeke kunikeze inkululeko eyengeziwe yokuhamba nomngane wakho onesixhume. Lezi zingatholakala ezikhumulweni zezindiza ezinkulu noma emadolobheni amakhulu.
