Description
Cuba is an increasingly popular holiday destination, and it's easy to see why. The music, beaches, old cars, striking architecture and revolutionary history all combine to make the perfect cultural destination with warm hospitality and a lively atmosphere. Our relaxed cycle route allows us to visit all the 'must see' places that Cuba is famous for: the crumbling colonial building of Havana, the music of Trinidad and the revolutionary history of Santiago. Away from the coastal resorts, visitors are very much in the minority, allowing us to observe the genuine warmth and hospitality displayed by the Cubans. Passing through stunning countryside with a patchwork of plantations, tobacco farms, fields and jungle, we are able to appreciate the traditional way of life that continues today. After a day of cycling a refreshing mojito will help us unwind and relax.Our group flights are direct with Virgin, helping you to ease into your holiday. If comparing prices against competitors, please check if they fly direct!
