This ten-day cycling expedition begins in the Cuban capital of
Havana and ends by the Carribean Sea in Trinidad some 350kms later. Most
of the cars on the road are large American Chevys and Buicks from
before the revolution, and buildings have remained untouched for more
than half a century. You can't help but be touched by the friendliness
and pride that the Cubans feel for their country.
Outside
of Havana, there are very few vehicles on the road and as Cuba has a
strong biking culture, you will fit right in. You will pass villages
separated by colourful fruit orchards, sugar plantations and tree-lined
avenues. You will also see the monument to Che Guevera as you pass
through Santa Clara.
You will cycle through
Cienfuegos, which sits in a bay facing the Caribbean Sea and has
attracted pirates through the ages, and continue to the magnificent
Sierra del Escambray before finally reaching Trinidad.
You can spend your final evening dining and salsa dancing before returning to Havana.
