"One Day in Cienfuegos" Bike Tour
Cienfuegos is a city in the bay of Cienfuegos, on the southern coast of Cuba. It is known by his buildings of the colonial epoch. In the central square José Martí Park, you can find the Tomás Terry Theater, with gold leaf mosaics and frescoes in its sky. The Provincial Museum explores the city's colonial history. The Arc de Triomphe commemorates Cuban independence. Ferries cross the bay to Jagua Castle, an 18th century fortress.
We will explore with our electric bikes, without traffic, the beautiful City of Cienfuegos and immerse yourself in its charms.
