Coconut taxi can be seen all over Havana and Varadero. The coco-taxi is a cute little two-seater, which is mostly used to do quick trips around the city. They are fast, fun and cheaper than a cab. The prices are vary, but always are less than $3 for a trip around town. The driver use a helm, but the passengers don’t get one.
