Havana Enchanted Forest Bike Tour

One of the best excursions of our trip! The bike ride is definitely not for the weak- I am not in shape and it was difficult- but doing it at 11am in the July Havana heat was extra! Emmy was so incredible! She was patient, took several breaks and showed us areas we otherwise would not have been blue to explore without her guidance. I recommend bug spray (we forgot) and lots of water but please do this trip! You won’t regret it!

Havana Enchanted Forest Bike Tour Itinerary

At the indicated time, we'll meet on 12th Street in the El Vedado District. Ready to bike through Havana's amazing forest?

Once we've picked up our bikes, we'll hop on and start pedaling to the Casa de la Amistad. Here, we'll discuss the romantic story behind this mansion once lived in by 2 Cuban aristocrats in the 20th century.

This story is closely intertwined with our next destination, Havana Forest, also known as the Great Metropolitan Park. This expansive area spans 700 hectares and offers a tranquil oasis. We'll explore the park's notable features, including the Jardines de la Tropical, an area abundant in Art Nouveau architecture.

Upon concluding our garden exploration, we'll pedal onwards to the Amigos del Mar restaurant. This charming open-air establishment sits alongside the Almendares River, a constant companion on our journey.

After refueling, we'll return to the starting point to return the bikes and conclude the activity after about 3 hours of adventure.

Enmys, our guide was fantastic. You could tell by her welcoming smile that she was very happy and proud to share little pieces of Cuba's history with us. The Tropical Gardens were magical and by far my favorite part of the activity. The bikes and helmets we used were in great condition. We were very happy we booked this activity.

Esperienza bellissima, assolutamente da consigliare! Emy è una guida preparata e gentilissima. Sono stata all’ Havana tre volte ma questo giro in bicicletta mi ha permesso di conoscere gli aspetti più nascosti e interessanti della città. Translate this opinion into English.
