Religion Etiquette in Cuba

Most Cubans are not strictly observant in daily life, so visitors are usually not expected to dress or behave especially conservatively unless they are entering a church or attending a religious ceremony. At the same time, Afro-Cuban traditions such as SanterĂ­a are widely respected and often practiced alongside Catholic customs, so it is best to treat altars, offerings, and ritual objects as private and not to photograph or touch them without permission.
