Starting and ending in Havana, the "Cuba By Bike" trip is a guided bicycle trip that takes 12 days. You will travel through Trinidad, Soroa, Santa Clara and 3 other destinations in Cuba. "Cuba By Bike" is a small group trip which includes accommodation, transport, meals and others.

A cycling adventure that captures the real Cuba. Cuba is a Caribbean gem that is ideally suited to cycle touring and our local guides lose little time in introducing us to their favourite haunts and hideaways in a country with such contrast. After exploring the cobbled squares and narrow alleyways of the music filled capital Havana, we set off to explore the lesser known regions of Cuba at handlebar level. We pedal into the rural heartland, averaging 20 to 50 km each day through an ever changing landscape. From misty valleys to open woodland, to the caves and crags that characterise the Vinales Valley and the equally impressive coastline, Cuba has it all. Our final days are spent in the beautifully preserved town of Trinidad, with its colonial Spanish architecture together with excellent walking in the rugged Topes de Collantes forest region. As a fine finale we return to Havana via Santa Clara, the city that is forever associated with the name Che Guevara.
