Cuban Revolution Cycle
Welcome to the land of cigars, revolution, Che Guevara and vintage Chevrolets. The Cuban cycle travels from the cultural capital Havana to the exotic Caribbean. Our 10 days in the saddle will see us cycling 380 km through beautiful countryside, passing fruit orchards, tree-lined avenues and buildings left untouched for more than half a century. Outside of Havana vehicles are rare and there is a strong biking culture – so expect to fit right in!
What you can expect on this trip
- Cover 380 km from one beautiful coastline to the other
- Pass remote villages, fruit orchards and sugar plantations
- Visit the city of Cienfuegos, once a hotbed of pirate activity
- Discover hidden treasures in Havana’s preserved old quarter
- Finish in the UNESCO World Heritage site of Trinidad
