Cuba is a dream destination for cyclists craving adventure, cultural depth and off-the-beaten-track landscapes.
Travelling by bike in Cuba often means rolling past ox-drawn carts, hearing live music in plazas, and enjoying home-cooked meals in local guesthouses.
Add in tropical scenery, colourful cities and a fascinating history, and you have all the ingredients for a cycling holiday to remember.
Why go to Cuba
Cycling in Cuba offers a rare chance to slow down and explore a country rich in natural beauty and steeped in history.
This is a destination that oozes culture, from beautiful cities and revolutionary landmarks to Afro-Cuban rhythms. With limited internet access, Cuba is also the perfect place for a digital detox, letting cyclists disconnect and truly engage with their surroundings.
Whilst the busy cities buzz with life and classic old cars, the roads outside of the main cities are also often quiet, allowing for peaceful rides through landscapes untouched by mass tourism.
