Day 1 Arrive Havana
Arrive in Havana at any time.
Day 2 Pinar del Rio / Vinales (B,L,D)
Travel west to Pinar del Rio, the Garden Province of Cuba. This is cigar country, so a visit to a tobacco factory as well as the local rum distillery is a must. Spend the afternoon cycling around the pincushion hills and lush tobacco fields of Vinales.
Day 3 Cayo Jutias (B,L,D)
Cycle to Cayo Jutias on the North coast. Take in the breathtaking scenery as you cycle past dramatic mountain vistas, stopping en route for a picnic lunch. This coastal route ends at a beautiful unspoiled white beach with crystal blue water.
Day 4 La Palma (B,L,D)
Cycle the Jagua Vieja road to La Palma and later make your way back to Valle de Ancon.
Day 5 Cueva de los Portales / Soroa (B,L,D)
Follow in the footsteps of Che Guevara as you visit the historic Cueva de los Portales. Stop en route for a picnic lunch, then continue cycling the Carretera Central to Soroa. If you’re lucky, you’ll catch one of Soroa’s famed rainbows. This region is endowed with rivers, clear water, tall trees, and it features Cuba’s most complete orchid garden.
Day 6 Las Terrazas (B,L,D)
Take a morning ride past majestic mountains and beautiful scenery to Las Terrazas, Cuba’s first UNESCO-sanctioned biosphere reserve. Visit the 19th century coffee plantation ruins. Don’t miss the opportunity to experience a traditional Cuban Creole meal at a typical farmhouse.
Day 7 Havana (B,L,D)
A short trip east takes us back to the capital to soak up some city culture. Enjoy a walking tour of old and modern Havana for a full appreciation of this vibrant city. Delight in some Cuban cuisine for dinner, and enjoy one last night on the town with the group.
