Motorcycle Tours in Cuba Are a Great Exotic Vacation

Political relations between the U.S. and Cuba have changed dramatically over the past year. This makes now a great time to vacation to Cuba and for adventure travelers a Cuban Motorcycle Tour is the best way to experience the land.

MotoDiscovery has long been the premier provider of Motorcycle Tours all over the world. While we have been around the globe Cuba has always been a favorite destination for our team and guests. The vivacious culture, embattled history, and epic cuisine make for an unforgettable experience. We offer a variety of tours all over the country varying in lengths and locations. Recently MotoDiscovery has added a 7 day Cuba tour for travelers looking for a quick getaway. While this tour is short in length it certainly delivers in experience. A seven day tour spanning five hundred miles allows guests to experience lots of people to people encounters in Havana, Vinales, and Las Terrazas.

The seven day Cuba Motorcycle Tour consists of travel primarily on paved roads that is easily navigated by riders with some touring experience. Havana is our start and endpoint for this tour. Travelers who have never been to this iconic city will not be disappointed with the experience. A lively cultural scene with great food and sights makes Havana a must when visiting Cuba.

From Havana we will head toward the far west and the province of Pinar del Rio. This area is renowned for its dramatic scenery and is the center for tobacco production in Cuba. We will ride out to a legendary farm which is considered to produce the finest tobacco leaves in the country. Here you will understand the world’s fascination with the iconic “Cuban Cigar”.

While tobacco is a big part of Cuban culture it is certainly not everything. We will move to the Parque Nacional Vinales. This area is renowned for its dramatic limestone and mesas. You will enter a culture that reminds of older days with creaky ox-carts hauling sugar cane, cowboys riding horseback, and a never ending parade of Yankee automobiles from the 1950’s. The pictures most have seen of Cuba will come to life for our guests as they experience this first hand.

It doesn’t matter what your motorcycle preference is the legendary Harlistas (owners of pre-revolutionary Harleys) are legendary and enjoy a celebrity status in their home country of Cuba. We will arrange encounters with members of the clan and learn how they have managed to keep these machines alive.

 

All throughout our Cuba Tour we are surrounded by music and dance which is the heart of Cuban culture and heritage. Fully immersing ourselves in Cuban culture you will see why this is one of MotoDiscovery’s favorite places to visit. All that combined with the rum and cigars make a Cuba Motorcycle Tour a must.
