This was a really enjoyable trip. As well as enjoying a good variety of cycling, we learned a lot about the life and politics of the country and had the chance to explore some amazing historic towns.
I loved this trip although I was absolutley shattered at the end of it. Havana was amazing and lived up to my expectations but my favourite place was Guajimico. This was a basic hotel where each guest has a 'chalet' set in the forest, the best (or worst) depending on your view was that it was surrounded by massive land crabs. We danced until the early hours making the most of our Salsa class. Wildlife figured greatly on this trip including spiders and scorpions but what do you expect in a tropical destination!
A good quick cycle through Cuba, avoid the crabs ! Cuban Highlights is a good leisurely trip through Cuba. The cycling itself is fun, fairly easy and the views are great, certainly the highlight being when the crabs are crossing the roads and you try to avoid them!
