Tour Overview
Cuba’s music, beaches, old cars, striking architecture and revolutionary history combine to make the perfect cultural destination with a lively atmosphere. Our cycle route passes through stunning countryside with a patchwork of plantations, fields and jungle, allowing us to appreciate the traditional way of life that continues today. Out of the saddle we can experience Trinidad’s vibrant music scene, the crumbling colonial buildings of Havana and learn about the revolutionary history of Santiago. After a day of cycling you'll no doubt welcome Cuba's speciality - a refreshing mojito!

Accommodation
We spend 14 nights in casas particulares, traditional Cuban guesthouses that provide a warm welcome and, best of all, an insight into the local lifestyle and culture. Rooms are on a twin-share basis with air conditioning and private bathrooms.
Every property we use has been inspected and assessed by our local team. Some are large multi-room houses that are home to entire families, others are run by individuals, and in some cases the owners live elsewhere. We typically use several different properties in close vicinity to accommodate our full group. We always do our best to ensure those in single-room accommodation are within a house where other Exodus clients are staying.
The casa owners are usually happy to help with laundry for a small fee. Most casas do not have hairdryers. There are often pets (a cat or dog) at the casas - please advise at the time of booking if this is problematic.
Please note, power cuts occur regularly in Cuba and you should expect there to be blackouts for hours at a time. This is a part of daily life in Cuba and torches are readily available for evening
ight-time blackouts. Hot water supplies are not always guaranteed and water pressure can be temperamental. Cuba is not a luxury destination and anyone travelling to the island should be prepared for this.
Food
14 breakfasts, 13 lunches and 10 dinners included, allowing the option to try
some local restaurants on the other evenings.
We provide packed lunches during the day and there are plenty of water and
fruit refreshment stops. 3 litres of water per person is included on cycling
days. You may wish to bring some of your own energy snacks, as food shops,
cafes and restaurants are scarce in many of the rural areas we visit. Cuba is
not renowned for its culinary excellence (although it is improving). Food can
sometimes be relatively unexciting and expensive - in no small part due to
the long trade embargo implemented by the US. Vegetarians will often find the
food choice limited. Meals will be more varied for everyone in Havana and
seafood is available on the coast. We recommend that you allow CUC 20 to CUC
30 pp per day for the lunches and evening meals on the days where food is not
included. If you need more water than provided, it is available for approx.
CUC 1.50 per bottle.
