Cycling in Cuba

Cycling in Cuba is blissfully quiet, exceptionally colourful, culturally rich and filled with surprises. This Caribbean nation has relatively few cars, allowing you to explore on two wheels without seeing much traffic at all and instead you can take advantage of the road network to pedal to places rarely seen. 

Sub-tropical and blessed with tradewinds, the climate is particularly cyclist-friendly. It rarely gets too hot to ride, thanks to the sea breezes and you can explore throughout the year, pedalling through lush valleys, admiring brightly-coloured birds and eating lunch on palm-fringed beaches. With mountains, rolling countryside and plenty of flat regions, there are cycle routes in Cuba’s beautiful landscapes to suit any mood or ability. 

Thanks to the country’s fascinating cultural and political history, riding here reveals a complex and intriguing heritage. From the streets of historic Havana and Cienfuegos to the verdant valley of Soroa and the Sierra Escambray mountains, Cuba is a country made for beguiling bike adventures.
