Viñales Travel Forum

Help! I left my film in Vinales! Can you mail them to me?

Can you help me? My hosts in Cuba said they could mail the films back to me, but apparently this is not permitted by the government. Disappointing to say the least.

I'd be very greatful if someone could visit the casa I left the films at, take them out of Cuba, and then mail them back to me in Canada. If you're worried about the films really being films, you could develop them there, and send the negatives (and prints) to me. I am willing to pay for the cost of shipping (and developing if needed) and a reward for their safe return. They contain many great memories of Cuba!

If you need a place to stay in Vinales, the place where I left the films was very clean, private, and comfortable. The hosts were very friendly! I can say honestly that they provided the best food that I had on my whole trip!

The casa was:

SR Herbierto Botin Gonzales y Sra Marisol Delgado Garcia.
Calle Camilo Cienfuegos #20
Vinales CP 22400
Provincial de Pinar del Rio

You can phone ahead and make arrangements through Herbierto's mother at:

Sra Blanca Gonzalez Naveda
Calle Salvador Sisnero Interior
Edificio Colonial No. 2 Apt0. No. 12
Vinales, Pinar del Rio
Detras del la Policlinica
Tele: Country Code: 53 Area Code: 8 Phone Number: 9-33-19

Sra Blanca is the one I've been in contact with regarding the films.

Again, if you can help I'll be eternally grateful.

Best to post this same question at www.cubanonet.com/greenscreen and the Lonely Planet thorntree...

hello !
I will go in Cuba on the end in october 2003, and I will stay a few days also in Vinales. If it is not too late for you I can pick up your film. Let me know, Bye

I would be VERY much indebted and offer a reward of course....

Let me know if you are still able to do this and we can exchange emails of VT!
