For two weeks you’ll pedal from inn to inn through the small towns and countryside of this lush Caribbean island. When to go: January, February, April, November, December Difficulty: Moderate Travel advisory: Because the United States bars air travel to Cuba, you’ll have to fly to Havana via Toronto, Montreal, Vancouver, Mexico City, Cancún, or Nassau. High/low points: Being invited to a neighborhood lobster barbeque by a family in Pinar del Río. Not being able to legally spend money in Cuba, unless you have a license to travel there from the U.S. government. Copyright 1998, Outside magazine |
