Day 1: ARRIVAL IN HAVANA

  • Casa particular, Havana
  • Dinner

Welcome to Cuba! Touch down in Havana and make your way through the airport to be greeted by a Cubania airport rep waiting in the arrivals area. From here you’ll have a private taxi ride into the city (approx. 30 minutes) where you’ll check into a casa particular, Cuba’s version of privately run BnB properties.  At an agreed time, our Cubania guide will pass by the accommodation to introduce themselves and answer any questions that you may have.  Then head out for dinner in a local paladar (privately owned restaurant) to enjoy your first meal together in Havana.

Day 2: Havana City Cycling; Transfer to Las Terrazas

  • 24 km
  • +163m -169m
  • Casas Particulares, Soroa
  • Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner

This morning we’ll get fitted with our allocated bikes. Should you need to fit any pedals or other bike parts our mechanics will be on hand to assist with a full array of tools.

After a safety briefing from your Cubania cycle guide we set off to explore this fascinating city. Departing Miramar district, we’ll embark on a fun and insightful exploration of Havana on two wheels. The ride will feature the following distinct parts of the capital; Playa, Rio Almendares, Plaza de la Revolución, Vedado, Centro Habana, La Habana Vieja finishing in San Isidro district. We’ll be accompanied on today’s city ride by member(s) of the Cuban ‘Masters’ veteran cyclists club, so you’ll have the chance to ride side by side with Cuban cycling enthusiasts with stories to tell. We’ll stop along the way for a juice or coffee.   The ride ends in San Isidro, an area famous for its flamboyant graffiti and from here we’ll continue on foot to arrive at a paladar (private restaurant) where we’ll have lunch together.

Afterwards we’ll transfer out of Havana in our tour vehicle and head westwards into Artemisa Province. Our destination is Las Terrazas Biosphere Reserve where we’ll have a short visit before continuing to check in to our accommodation for the night in within the Biosphere Reserve.

Day 3: Cycle from Las Terrazas to San Diego de Los Baños

  • 75 km
  • +665m -770m
  • Casa particular, Viñales
  • Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner

Departing on our bikes we’ll descend from Soroa and leave the mountains behind with a fast descent to Candelaria.  We then take the Carretera Central to San Diego de Los Baños.   The ride is flat and involves passing through a series of small bustling towns where we’ll be able to soak up the sights and sounds of rural Cuban life. At the end of the ride we’ll stop for lunch in a Casa Particular and then transfer for approx. 1 hour to the mountain town and activity hub of Viñales. The short drive ends with some spectacular views as we enter Viñales Valley with its dramatic limestone karst rock formations.  Meet local farmers and eat dinner at an organic farm overlooking town tonight.

In Viñales we’ll be staying in casas particulares.

Day 4: Cycle to beach at Cayo Jutías

  • 56 km
  • +530m -669m
  • Casa Particular, Viñales
  • Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner

Cycling out westwards from Viñales we’ll ride via Pons and make our way to the north coastline of Pinar del Rio Province. Today’s route involves some short climbs and some sections of very poor quality road surface with some stunning views from the winding road. The last section of the route to Cayo Jutías is a causeway with water on both sides. Whilst the causeway is full of potholes, it can still be cycled and the reward at the end is the beautiful golden sands of Cayo Jutías beach. Here we’ll have lunch on the beach and spend some time relaxing before driving back to Viñales. Back in the town we’ll walk out to a nearby tobacco farm known as a ‘vega’ and learn about the growing process of Cuba’s most famous export. This is the best region of Cuba for tobacco production and so what better place to try our hand at rolling a cigar! In the evening we’ll have a salsa class with local dance teachers showing us some steps.  Dinner in a local paladar in town.

Day 5: Cycle from Viñales to San Andres; Transfer to Havana

  • 40 km
  • +488m -483m
  • Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner

After breakfast we’ll cycle northwards out of Viñales passing through some beautiful scenery as we wind between mountains and pass agricultural pastures. The first half of the route is on paved roads and the second part on rougher terrain. Our ride ends at Casa Maria, a small farm property in the village of San Andres where we’ll visit their family-run organic farm and have a delicious meal cooked with food sourced entirely from their property. Afterwards, time permitting, we’ll take a visit to the nearby Cueva de Los Portales cave system, where Che Guevara camped out during the 1962 Cuban ‘missile crisis’. From here it is approximately 2.5 hours drive back to Havana.  On arrival, check in to your casa particular and head out for your final meal in Old Havana.
