A really fantastic trip in so many ways. Although only a week we packed so much into it that it felt like longer! It truly provided a great taste of Cuba.
There can be no better way of seeing and getting under the skin of Cuba today than mounting an almost new hybrid bike, led by a knowledgeable local, supported by a comfortable coach (in case of a rest). The trip covers most of Cuba to the east of Havana. Check the trip notes and make sure you understand there are a lot of transfers at times to enable you to get from A to B. Given that in some ways Cuba is a 3rd world country (ie not as developed or comfortable as the West) the quality of the hotels generally exceeded my expectations - as long as you like quirky! You won't go hungry, buffets are the norm, but I longed for meusli for breakfast and something other than rice , black beans and meat for supper.
Cuban Highlights Ride 11FEB2016 A really interesting insight into this amazing country, viewed from two wheels! We've never experienced such a different culture and way of life, and doing it on a bike, gave us a genuine feeling of connection and involvement.
Everyday was different and varied. The cycling was moderate for non-regular cyclists, but the excellent bikes with good gears made the routes easily doable
