Exodus restores biking & cultural tours for U.S. citizens

Exodus Adventure Travels has announced the return of Cuba trips available for U.S. citizens starting October 2024. 

With a range of destination immersion and itineraries in compliance with OFAC Regulations, the tours are designed to empower local communities and support the Cuban people, the company says.

Travellers can rediscover the island nation through a range of thoughtfully crafted itineraries ranging from eight- to 15-day journeys, led by expert local guides.

"Our adventure trips in Cuba mean rekindling the authentic connections and experiences that make this destination truly special,” said Sam Seward, managing director of Exodus Adventure Travels. “From mastering the art of the mojito in our hands-on cocktail-making classes to immersing yourself in scenic bike rides, guided by seasoned Cuban cyclists, every moment offers a unique glimpse into the heart of this vibrant country that we fully expect to be on the top of U.S. travel;ers’ bucket lists this fall and beyond into 2025. We are thrilled to offer these timeless experiences, all deeply rooted in local culture.”

Exodus offers four special itineraries:

●  Cuban Highlights Ride:  Featuring fabulous cycles in western Cuba, this itinerary is ideal for those with limited time but unlimited curiosity about life in rural Cuba. Take in some of the country's most idyllic spots, including cascading El Nicho waterfall, cycling to paradisiacal Playa Ancón and experiencing the best of Havana on a classic car tour.

●  Cycling Cuba: For those looking for the ultimate adventure in Cuba, this exciting itinerary will leave long-lasting memories. The route starts in Havana and heads east as far as Santiago de Cuba, taking in a variety of must-see destinations and hidden gems on the way. Travelers are joined by members of the Cuban Masters Road Cycling Club for stages of the journey, who share their love of cycling and meaningful stories of their lives in Cuba.

●  A Taste of Cuba: This culture-based itinerary focuses on some of the most iconic places on the island, including the tranquil and lush valley of Viñales (home to giant limestone mogotes dotted amongst endless tobacco plantations), the UNESCO-listed Trinidad and, of course, iconic Havana.

●  Cuba: La Isla Grande: The most comprehensive itinerary, travelers will spend two weeks traveling the length and breadth of the Caribbean's largest island. Travel all the way to Cuba's most easterly tip, Baracoa, where Columbus first set foot and where a unique culture and cuisine have developed due to its seclusion.

Americans can legally travel to Cuba if the purpose of their visit falls under one of several pre-approved categories, including educational, people-to-people that supports locals.
