  Bike Tours - 2025 Season Beth and Lee will co-lead three bike tours in Cuba between January and March 2025, we hope you can join us for the fun. The next season will be based in Havana/Varadero providing two options for arriving in Cuba.   Tour registration is open and encouraged -  you can reserve a spot at no cost until Fall 2024.  All tours offer e-bikes as an option. Let's begin looking back on some photos of our recent highly successful Guantanamo Mango Tour of January 2024. We began our tour in Holguin, then rode east to Faro de Maisi (a lighthouse at the eastern edge of Cuba), before turning back and travelling through Guantanamo, Santiago de Cuba and, the Pinares Forest.  Finally, we returned to Guardalavaca to complete our loop of Eastern Cuba.  The pictures below capture a small part of our fun.
