Mountain Bike Holidays – Americas – Cycle Cuba!

Holiday Facts

Cuba by bicycle – it’s the ideal way to explore this colourful, cultural and beautiful Caribbean island. A cycle tour in Cuba means spinning through ever changing landscapes, discovering rural villages and historic towns, and meeting many Cuban people as you travel. Our cycle holiday – with vehicle support and two cycle guides - gives you a unique and very special way of doing this.

Tour Highlights:

Explore UNESCO protected areas of Trinidad, Viñales and Havana
Flexible cycle rides with guides and vehicle support
Fabulous accommodation, food, music and local knowledge
Real off-track cycling options with our dedicated guides

Overview

Cuba is a tropical island like no other, with its fascinating culture, UNESCO World Heritage sites and breathtaking scenery. A holiday by bike sets the pace for meeting people, feeling the wind in your hair and watching the landscapes and ecosystems change as you cycle along.

On this cycle tour we’ll see the famous limestone karsts or “mogotes” of the Viñales Valley, rolling fields of tobacco crops for Cuba's world famous cigars, the wild terrain of the Escambray Mountains, traditional homes of Trinidad and many beautiful beaches.

This is the only Cuba tour offered in the UK with both local and professionally qualified UK guides working together to lead it. Most companies work solely with local guiding outfits, but we believe that our partnership approach means more flexible cycling options, more safety and the highest possible level of care, right through your cycle holiday.

As one of the UK’s main cycle leader training organisations we use our time in Cuba to share ideas and information with our local partners. It’s a great skills swap – our expertise in cycle skills, mechanics, leadership and safety combined with their knowledge of the country, cultures, locations and the latest “not to be missed” places. The result is fantastic: allowing us to explore places that nobody else visits and creating a unique holiday for cyclists of all abilities who want to get the most out of their time in Cuba.
