The guesthouses (casas) we use are much nicer than your average Cuban dwelling, but regardless of where you stay, power cuts and breaks in hot water supply can sometimes happen. To help set your expectations correctly, please read the ‘Accommodation’ section of the Essential Trip Information.
To complete this trip, it’s important that you’re both confident and competent in riding a bicycle. This is a cycling trip, so it requires a certain amount of cycling fitness. This being said, there’s always a comfortable, air-conditioned support vehicle following close by.
On this trip we have a single leader that rides with the group, and another that drives the support vehicle (acting as a back marker where needed).
Internet access can be hard to come by, and when it's available it's sometimes unreliable. This is, on the other hand, a great opportunity to take a break from modern devices and have a true holiday.
Cuba's roads aren't always paved, but when they are they can range from smooth to downright terrible. That being said, it’s a fun experience to share the road with tractors, vintage American cars and horse-drawn carriages.
While Cuban food can sometimes seem limited due to a ban on imported goods, your guide will steer you towards the best eateries in each destination you visit.
Cuba is a developing country, which means sometimes the water in your bathroom might run cold or the electricity might fail. To get the most out of your holiday, a degree of patience and understanding will be an advantage.
Import restrictions make the purchase of new bicycles a difficult challenge – our bikes come from a variety of different manufacturers but are all mechanically sound.
This trip is part of a longer itinerary. You might be joining travellers who have already spent some time together. If you have more time to explore, you might like to check out our Cycle Cuba trip.
