Cuban Revolution Cycle

It’s finally time for your long-awaited departure to Cuba. Wave goodbye to friends and family, before you board the flight and embark upon your challenge! (D)

Accommodation: Hotel

It’s an early start for your long-awaited cycle ride towards Trinidad. Today’s route is hilly with steep climbs up to 200m and poor road conditions, particularly as you head to Arcos de Canasi. As the route meanders through country villages and pretty scenery, the toughest part of the day awaits at the entrance of Matanzas. The reward is a swim and a comfy hotel bed! (B,L,D)

Accommodation: Hotel

Cienfuegos was founded on the fortunes of the sugar industry in the 1700s. The roads are generally good and your first climb upwards is just 300m. As you ride the scenic roads that border the city, it’s important to stay together as the traffic becomes heavier. Tonight there will be time to explore this picturesque bay city, which has repeatedly been looted by pirates in the past. (B,L,D)

Accommodation: Hotel

You will be covering a pedal-pumping 107 km on this grand finale of the ride. You begin with a fun descent before attacking curved roads with potholes, steady hills and limited visibility. After lunch there are tricky hills and a bumpy road. Yet you finish with a thrilling descent down to Trinidad. Spend the evening celebrating at our beach hotel which looks out onto the Caribbean. (B,L,D)

Accommodation: Hotel

Spend more time sight-seeing or perhaps take part in a salsa or rumba lesson. And if you’re feeling hungry you could grab a bite at one of Havanas many paladares (local Cuban houses that cater for paying guests). Supper is provided in a restaurant close to the airport, before your evening flight back to the UK via Madrid. (Please note lunch is not included today). (B,D)

Bid farewell to the rest of the group this evening, though you can transfer to your centrally located hotel at any point this afternoon. You will be staying in the heart of Old Havana, close to museums, plazas, art galleries and prominent 18th Century buildings. Tonight enjoy typical Cuban music, where you can learn to salsa and dinner at the Asian- Creole food Restuarant (B.D)

Depending on the flight schedule most of the day is free to stroll around some of Havana’s many hidden cultural, historical and political treasures. Transfer to the airport to check in for your return flight to London via Madrid. (B) [Please note that where possible we will book the overnight flight, however it might be necessary to take an earlier flight if there is no availability].

Accommodation: 4* Hotel - All Inclusive 

After lunch you will transfer to Havana Airport for your return flight to London via Madrid. (B)
