This ten-day 350km cycling expedition begins in the Cuban capital of Havana and ends by the Caribbean Sea in Trinidad.
Most of the cars on the road are large American Chevys and Buicks from before the revolution, and buildings have remained untouched for more than half a century. Outside of Havana, there are very few vehicles on the road and as Cuba has a strong biking culture, you will fit right in.
You will pass villages separated by colourful fruit orchards, sugar plantations and tree-lined avenues. You will also see the monument to Che Guevera as you pass through Santa Clara. You will cycle on through Cienfuegos, which sits in a bay facing the Caribbean Sea and has attracted pirates through the ages, and continue to the magnificent Sierra del Escambray before finally reaching Trinidad.
You can spend your final evening dining and salsa dancing before returning to Havana.
Throughout the journey, you can’t help but be touched by the friendliness and pride that the Cubans feel for their country.
