I was looking into visiting Cuba in 2024 but there seems to be a lot of conflicting information. Does anybody have good resources on how best to visit without being put onto a watch list or whatever?

So my understanding, which is untested and may be out of date, is that Cuba doesn't care if Americans go there. America cares if Americans go there.
The last I heard, you could fly there from a 3rd country (usually Mexico), and they'd stamp a piece of paper to keep in your passport and not the passport itself. You have to carry all the cash you are going to need with you, though, because any card transaction will bring the wrath of the feds down on you when you get home. It's spending money in Cuba that violates the terms of the embargo, not so much the physical presence, so you can't do anything electronically traceable.
Doesn't the US have this "Support the People" (support the budding capitalists) visa thing where it's ok to go as long as you don't sponsor government owned businesses and you keep your recipients? Although I'd be tempted just to do the fly from Mexico thing and hope I don't get caught.
I hadn't heard about that but a few people have mentioned it so I guess it's a thing. Better not fuck up the paperwork though
