A 10-day cycling adventure in western Cuba called the Fat Mary Bike Tour starts with a ride from Matanzas to Havana, where you can explore the treasures of the capital city. This amazing tour includes visits to famous caves, along with ancient coffee farms, quiet backroads to turquoise beaches, and unique limestone formations at Viñales Valley.

Explore exotic roads as you discover Fidel Castro’s birthplace, along with a dedicated ride to Cuba’s highest waterfall. The Guantanamo Mango is a 12-day cycling adventure along the coastal lowlands and scenic mountains into the backwoods of eastern Cuba.

Cayo y Seis Ciudades is another fabulous tour featuring Cuba’s stunning landscapes with its many hidden gems. Explore beautiful beaches on the south and north coasts, including overnight stays in six of Cuba’s most historically significant and interesting colonial cities.

Ciclo Temba is a superb and fully supported end-to-end bike ride across Cuba. This tour let’s you savour the varied and often spectacular Cuban countryside at a leisurely pace. From a traditional Cuban Barbecue, to Santiago, Cuba’s most Caribbean city, and María La Gorda, a diver’s paradise, this adventure is a photographer’s dream not to be missed.

While their core business is fully supported trips, they’re happy to work with folks on self-guided bike-packing tours, and they offer bike rentals as well, including e-bikes.

Aventuras CanBiCuba also works closely to support local high school cycling teams and clubs, as cycling shops in Cuba are not of the same calibre as in North America. These top-rated tours are designed and run by Canadian Peter Marshall and his wife Ana, and they encourage their guests to support them with donations of used bikes and bike parts.

As a cycling destination, Cuba is hard to beat, as much of the country’s land has been recognized by the UNESCO World Heritage for its beauty and historic significance.
