On the way to Trinidad you cycle along the foot of the Sierra del Escambray, Cuba’s second highest mountain range. Your view sweeps over a densely forested, green hilly landscape.

There is live music almost every evening – or techno in the disco “Las Cuevas” until early in the morning. (B)
8th Day: Trinidad Explorationtour
Today you take a break in Trinidad on your bike tour to the highlights of Cuba. In the morning you will explore the sights of Trinidad during a guided city tour. Let yourself be impressed by the charm of the city. Marble, colonial style and mahogany – even today, the well-preserved mansions of the sugar barons bear witness to the former wealth of the city. Large parts of the city centre are closed to car traffic, there are no advertisements and only a few small souvenir stands. A walk through the city feels like a journey back in time. In the afternoon you have time to go out on your own and enjoy the beach of Playa Ancón, for example.
9th Day: Trinidad, approx. 40 km
Today you will go on a bicycle tour on pleasant cycle paths in the Valle de los Ingenios east of Trinidad. In the 19th century, more than 50 mills were in operation here and helped Trinidad to great wealth. You cycle through the sugar cane fields and stop at the slave tower Torre Iznaga. You can climb this 50-metre-high tower and enjoy a great view. Afterwards you cycle back to Trinidad.
