The camels are the popular name to the variant of urban transport emerged in the worst of the economic crisis of the 90s in Cuba. Heavy and capable of carrying up to 300 people, this hybrid truck and bus whose appearance simulates the humps of a camel, was the saving solution for a city of over two million people, but never got to alleviate the crisis and became one of the iconic symbols of the officially called "special period in peacetime."
