Program Details
“A Beauty and Sweaty Mountain Bike” Tour
One of the best options to tour part of the Viñales valley in an active way and admire the beauty it has to offer is by mountain bike. You will ride an MTB through farms, beautiful landscapes, climb hills and the pleasant adventure of descending over uneven and steep terrain.
The start of the tour is easy as you will ride 9km along a sandy soil road surrounded by pine trees to a small farmers' cooperative. From this point the route increases its degree of difficulty, as we will cycle along small paths and cross some bridges that we will have to cross with our bikes on our shoulders because it is impossible to ride over them. In the last part of the tour we will climb a very steep, though short, hill and descend it at a great speed so it requires skill and control. Later, we will continue to the "Valle del Silencio" where you can take a break or refresh yourself in the waters of a nearby lake.
