Cuba Photography Packing List
Packing for a photography tour in Cuba is as much about finding your balance as it is about preparing for an adventure. Some photographers travel light, relying on a single versatile lens and a smartphone for backup. Others can’t imagine heading out without multiple cameras, a collection of lenses, a sturdy tripod, and an array of accessories to cover every possible scenario. Most of us, however, fall somewhere in between, tailoring our gear to match our personal shooting style and the nature of the trip.
On this tour, you’ll be exploring Cuba’s vibrant streets, lush landscapes, and dynamic cultural scenes for up to two weeks. This isn’t a weekend photo shoot—it’s a continuous journey of discovery and creativity. For gear enthusiasts who are used to bringing everything but the kitchen sink, consider this: the more equipment you carry, the more you’ll need to manage and protect during the trip. Simplicity often leads to better focus on the art of photography itself.
Remember, ease of travel is key. Most tours in Cuba involve moving from place to place, so it’s wise to pack everything into one manageable suitcase with a bit of extra space for souvenirs and unexpected finds. Whether you’re capturing the golden light of Havana’s streets or the serene blues of Viñales, a well-prepared packing list will ensure you’re ready to photograph every moment without feeling weighed down
