An iconic destination, a unique way to see it: this Eastern Cuba cycling holiday is all about the freedom of freewheeling. Havana Bay of Pigs Cienfuegos Trinidad Santa Clara Che Guevara mausoleum & memorial Varadero Matanzas. Price £1115 To £1280 excluding flights, Duration 8 Days, Type Small group. Ideal for the casual cyclist able to cope with fairly strenuous rides up to 60km in Cuba's warm climate, this small group tour explores the Caribbean Communist island's enthralling history and culture from the saddle. While there's an unmistakable glamour that comes from touring in a classic car, we think the best way to see Cuba is definitely by bike - the sense of freedom is sublime. You'll travel point-to-point in a circuit from the capital, Havana, with its handsome fading architecture and Museum of the Revolution. Key destinations include the beaches of the Bay of Pigs - an ideal place to reward your exertions with a refreshing dip in a cenote full of tropical fish. In Trinidad, admire the Spanish colonial mansions and cobbled streets before riding on to an unmissable Cuba landmark, the Che Guevara mausoleum and memorial, the best place to learn the controversial revolutionary leader's story. Varadero is known as Cuba's 'city of bicycles', and you'll spend a day here with the option to go kayaking, dolphin-watching or snorkeling. Or you may prefer to just rest up for a while on the golden sand with a pina colada. Returning to Havana by Matanazas the terrain becomes a little more challenging with frequent potholes, but this only adds to the feeling of getting off the beaten track. And as this is the birthplace of danzon and rumba, it's a cultural highpoint of the itinerary. Get Libre in Cuba on two wheels with this exciting small group tour perfectly suited to the active traveller.
