Keep in mind
We work hard to maintain consistency across all of our tours, but some trips have unique differences. Here are some things to keep in mind about this tour.
- There will be sections of the route where the roads have potholes and are in rough condition. Some days there are optional longer rides available. Shuttles in and out of towns are included more than usual on this tour due to lodging logistics.
- Due to material shortages, we will not be able to mark the route with arrows on Cuba tours. As a result, you will find increased Tour Leader and driver support on Cuba tours. You will still be able to ride independently and at your own speed without the worry to check cue sheets, tracks, or the fear of getting lost. Some sections may require that we ride as a group. Tour Leaders will discuss the upcoming routes during our usual daily briefings.
- We recommend you bring an attitude of flexibility and an understanding that you may not find the amenities that exist in other destinations. But, a trip to Cuba could be one of the most fulfilling travel experiences you can have.

How would you describe this tour to a friend? Wonderful, amazing countryside, incredible guides, a country full of wonderfully friendly people & a very cordial biking group on both parts of tour. I”d also warn them not to expect every comfort of home but to seek out the pure joys of Cuba. I like the small groups, the great food and wine, the people who travel with you & biking is really the best way to see a country.

Exceptional! I have done nothing but talk about the trip since I got home. It was the variety of activities that made it stand out.
