Countries Visited: Cuba

A gentle cycling week exploring Cuba's history and peaceful backroads

The perfect introduction to our range of cycling trips or simply a true holiday on which to unwind, this relaxed trip discovers some of the best attractions that Cuba has to offer. Following country roads we cycle around the lush Bay of Pigs, site of the failed US 1961 invasion attempt. Cienfuegos and Trinidad are both World Heritage cities and provide beautiful cobbled, colonial refuges far from the modern world and are great places to relax. Cycling through the tropical forest of Topes de Collantes N.P. to the stunning lake at Hanabanilla reveals the natural splendour of this island. We end the trip learning about the revolutionary history of Che Guevara and Fidel Castro, visiting the mausoleum of the former before returning to the capital of the latter’s administration - enigmatic, charming Havana.
