The "Cycling Cuba" tour starts and ends in Havana. It is a bicycle tour that takes 15 days taking you through Santa Clara, Bayamo, El Saltón and 17 other destinations in Cuba. "Cycling Cuba" is a guided small group tour that includes accommodation in hotels, transport, meals and others.

Cuba’s music, beaches, classic cars, striking architecture and revolutionary history combine to make the perfect cultural destination with a lively atmosphere. Our cycle route passes through stunning countryside with a patchwork of plantations, fields and jungle, allowing us to appreciate the traditional way of life that continues today. Out of the saddle, we can experience the vibrant music scene of Trinidad, the crumbling colonial buildings of Havana and learn about the revolutionary history of Santiago. After a day of cycling, you’ll no doubt welcome Cuba’s speciality – a refreshing mojito!
