The turning wheels on a Cuban odyessy Now.............. the first thing to say is that I am NO cyclist.....well that's not totally true of course as of course I CAN ride a bike and myself and my wife have a reasonable level of fitness, however its not my recreational pastime as was some on our trip.......BUT.....What a holiday. If you are any doubt about your ability to do this, then so long as you have that reasonable level of fitness you should be just fine....and if you feel like riding on the support bus one day or more, then you can do that as well. No problem or aspersion cast from your fellow travellers. The perfect thing is that you get to see the country side as it SHOULD be seen......Up close. Cuba is very beautiful and majestic in places with areas untouched and great vistas. Lovely to see from a bike. The tour starts and ends in Havana and you go East going through some of the most important places such as the historic Bay of Pigs area, World Heritage site of Trinidad, the National park, and the Bustling City's of Santiago and Havana....I'm not going to say all the secrets....I want you to go and find them yourself, but I promise you will NOT be disappointed. The history and beauty of the island is a great mix. You really learn a lot.
What a fantastic fortnight with new found friends . Although cycling was tough in the heat everyone pulled together and made it through to the exhilarating finishes. Cycling, sun, music, history and friendship, what more could you ask for !
This was honestly the trip of a lifetime!! The local tour operator was so helpful in terms of pre-trip information like visas, travel insurance and more. Once we arrived in Cuba, every detail was perfect from our spacious vehicle to our fantastic guide Karell & friendly driver Raoul to the charming casa particulars we stayed at during the trip. Trinidad, Viñales and Havana were all equally beautiful destinations. Everything about the trip was amazing: the people, the accommodation, the food.. we loved it all! If I could give 20 stars, I would! Thank you!
