East Cuba Guided Enduro Motorcycle Tour

Your East Cuba motorcycle tour begins in the evening in Holguin, where you meet your travel group and your rental motorcycle. The next morning the Cuba enduro tour sets off toward the Sierra Maestra: as a guided Cuba motorcycle tour, the first stage follows well-maintained roads to Bayamo and then up into the mountains to Villa Santo Domingo. Along the way, winding mountain roads alternate with quiet villages, giving you time to settle into your motorcycle before the more demanding stages toward the Caribbean coast begin. Your guide accompanies you the entire route and gives tips on riding technique and route planning.

Highlights

Sierra Maestra Stage

The two-day Sierra Maestra motorcycle tour takes you along winding tracks to Villa Santo Domingo and on over the Cordillera toward the Caribbean coast. Dense mountain forests and varied terrain define this stage of the journey.

Day in Santiago de Cuba

On your Santiago de Cuba motorcycle tour, you explore Cuba's second-largest city by motorcycle, visit the El Morro fortress and enjoy the view from the rooftop terrace over the bay. A free afternoon leaves room for your own discoveries.

Enduro BMW F 700 GS

A BMW F 700 GS rental motorcycle is at your disposal for the entire tour, equally suited to tarmac and dirt roads. Technical support is with you on every riding day, so there is nothing to worry about on the technical side.
