Program
Day 1: Arrival to Havana Transfer from José Martí Havana International Airport to the Hotel Plaza. We recommend going for a walk along the Malecon in the evening. Accommodation: Hotel Plaza. Overnight Hotel Plaza Day 2: Havana ‐ Pinar del Rio After breakfast we’ll take you to Pinar del Río, the famous tobacco region in western Cuba. Pinar del Río is quiet and cosy compared to Havana, where nothing sits still. Once there, we will visit a tobacco factory and go on a tour of the town. Afterwards we will make our way to Hotel Aguas Claras where a delicious lunch meal will be awaiting us. After lunch, and a short rest, we will prepare our bikes for the day’s bike tour. The afternoon’s ride will take us to the Viñales Valley. Here, the legendary tobacco is grown among the crags and rocks of the steep cliffs. Viñales Valley is a place of exceptional beauty, dotted with odd shaped Mogotes (limestone mountains) and numerous caves. In the evening we will return to Hotel Aguas Claras, where we will have dinner and stay overnight. Biking distance: 10 km Breakfast Hotel Plaza Lunch Aguas Claras Dinner Aguas Claras Overnight Aguas Claras Day 3: Excursion Cayo Jutias Our journey today is to Cayo Jutias. After breakfast we will set off on a ride to enjoy the breathtaking views of the Sierra de los Organos, which lies in the Northwest. The picturesque beach of Cayo Jutias is located on a little island connected to the mainland by a man‐made causeway. Once here, we can have lunch on the beach, hire a boat or have a swim in the beautiful sea. After relaxing you can either take the bus or cycle back to Viñales to the Hotel Rancho San Vicente, where we’ll be having dinner and spending the night. Biking distance: 55 km Breakfast Aguas Claras Lunch on the beach Dinner Rancho San Vicente Overnight Rancho San Vicente Day 4: Valle Ancón On today’s ride we’ll take the Jagua Vieja Road to Palma at Ancón Valley ‐ a 30 km tour of quaint landscapes and untouched valleys. En route there is the possibility of visiting the country lodge where Fidel Castro held secret reunions during the Cuban Revolution. We will have a picnic lunch in the lush valley and then be taken to our next destination which will be the Hotel Aguas Clara which is nestled in idyllic surroundings which are perfect for a short hike or walk. This is where we will have dinner and spend the night.

This beautiful area was the hideout that Che Guevara used during the ’62 standoff with Kennedy and this will be the site for our picnic. After the picnic we will visit the caves and then we will start the day’s bike ride to Soroa over the Carretera Central. The route is one that will take us 45 km to the northeast, past characteristic little villages. In Soroa, we recommend paying the famous orchid gardens a visit. Dinner will be at the Hotel Villa Soroa where we will also spend the night. Biking distance: 45 km Breakfast Aguas Claras Dinner Villa Soroa Day 6: Las Terrazas This morning, following breakfast, we leave for Las Terrazas. Today’s trip is only 20km long. The community we will visit can be found in Sierra del Rosario, a UNESCO protected rural area of sustainable development. The river San Juan and its little waterfall flow through the thick forest where one can see little lakes, ruins and coffee plantations from the 19th century and sulphurous sources. Most farmers in Sierra live in communities which were formed in the course of a government program in 1968. The most well known is Las Terrazas. The name comes from overgrown terraced fields which are typical of this region. The 900 inhabitants of this community live off the timber industry and eco tourism. En route we will have a little picnic lunch. Dinner will be taken at a farmhouse. Accommodation: Hotel el Moka. Biking distance: 20 km Breakfast Villa Soroa Picnic lunch Dinner Hotel Moka Overnight Hotel Moka Day 7: Havanna In the morning we return to Havana.
