CENTRAL/WEST CYCLE TOUR –

OCTOBER 30 – NOVEMBER 10, 2024

This is a 12-day program that will have you cycling some of the most beautiful areas in Cuba and giving you a bit of beach time and time to discover a portion of some historic cities. You will fly into Varadero and transfer to the city of Santa Clara to begin the cycle tour.  The tour will have you cycling on quiet roads and visiting a number of small towns and cities.  The tour will take you to Havana for a two night stay. You will have a guided tour of the city to experience this magnificent colonial, world heritage city.  The final two days are at an all inclusive beach resort between Havana and Varadero…a free day to swim, snorkel or explore the area by bike.  Tour ends with the transfer to the airport in Varadero for your return flight to Canada on day 14.

All cycle distances are determined by the individual.  The average should be around 40 – 60 kms.  As the bus and trailer will accompany the entire tour, you have the opportunity to take a break when you want.  The bus will be at pre determined distances throughout the tour.
