"Havana Campo - The unknown West" Bike Tour

Havana emerged as the product and witness of a tumultuous and epic history, due to its position as the gateway to the New World, at the intersection of the great powers that have fought to control it. Its monuments, architecture, landscapes and atmosphere are a direct illustration of the greatness that makes Havana exceptional since its founding.

The route puts us in direct contact with the everyday Cuban culture as it is lived in the interior of the city. On our way to the fishing villages that make up the west, we will make some stops to see some of the work of some of Cuba's best known artists, this will show us great contrasts within this tour.
