TREK OR CYCLE CUBA

(Various dates avaliable)

Cuban flag

TREK

Fri 22 October 2010 - Sun 31 October 2010

Your trek starts in the vibrant capital and UNESCO World Heritage Site of Havana. Much of Havana's old quarter remains untouched despite the various wars and revolutions that have taken place over the last 200 years.

You will be trekking for four days, for between 6 to 7 hours a day. You will see amazing views along the way and be able to cool off in tropical waterfalls. You will visit the city of Santa Clara, famed for the final battle of the Cuban Revolution, the Sierra del Escambray and the beautiful city of Trinidad.

Deposit: £295

Minimum sponsorship: £2,785

(Includes flights, accomodation, meals, etc)

CYCLE

Fri 12 March 2010 - Sun 21 March 2010

Fri 12 November 2010 - Sun 21 November 2010

This ten-day cycling expedition begins in the Cuban capital of Havana and ends by the Carribean Sea in Trinidad some 350kms later.

Outside of Havana, there are very few vehicles on the road and as Cuba has a strong biking culture, you will fit right in. You will pass villages separated by colourful fruit orchards, sugar plantations and tree-lined avenues. You will also see the monument to Che Guevera as you pass through Santa Clara.

You will cycle through Cienfuegos, which sits in a bay facing the Caribbean Sea and has attracted pirates through the ages, and continue to the magnificent Sierra del Escambray before finally reaching Trinidad.

 Your group will be accompanied by Cuban guides for the entire journey and an air-conditioned bus carrying water and offering rest and relief will always be close by. 

There will be time at the start and the end of the challenge to explore Havana and to relax on palm-fringed beaches.  

Deposit: £295

Minimum sponsorship: £2785 

(Includes flights, accommodation, meals, etc)
