Photography today is confronted from different angles. José Manuel Fors (Havana, 1956), is not a photographer in the traditional sense of the word.

What are the means of transportation available? TAXI There are four alternatives for taxi transportation: three private and one shared. We recommend the private taxi for a day trip.
