007 in Cuba and Puerto Rico

By Robert Curley, About.com

Aricebo Observatory, Puerto Rico

Cuba

Bond travels to Havana in the novel Die Another Day, and also goes to a secret satellite facility in Cuba in the book GoldenEye.

Puerto Rico

In the movie GoldenEye, the Arecibo Observatory in Puerto Rico stands in for the aforementioned secret facility; 007 fans may recall the scene where Timothy Dalton's Bond fights with a rogue British agent over the facility's huge satellite bowl. The observatory -- which also played a starring role in the Jodi Foster movie Contact -- has a visitor's center and is open to the public.
