"Havana Bay at night" Bike Tour

Description

Our proposal is that you make this trip at sunset to a partially forgotten side of the city where the life in the port, the Afro-Cuban religion, the towns of Regla and Casablanca, and The Christ, come together to make you know the authentic Cuba, all this accompanied by an impressive view that gives you the light show that can be admired from the other side of the city.

Details of the tour

  • Departure from the meeting point.
  • We will go through the capital's ramp where we will be able to see the "Habana Libre" Hotel, formerly the Hilton and the Hotel Nacional de Cuba, the emblem of Cuban hotel industry. It is located on a hill a few meters from the sea in the most central area of Havana, a place where hundreds of notable personalities have stayed in the various manifestations of the arts, politics, trade and business world, science and universal culture, without forgetting to include the Italian-American mafia.
  • The Malecón Habanero, Cuba's most famous seafront avenue, with its six lanes is topped by a wide sidewalk, crowned by a wall that serves as a seat for thousands of people who contemplate the blue sea, the passage of ships, or the beloved face of those who share a beautiful moment to appreciate the sunset.
  • We will go to the Avenue of the Port in Old Havana where we will take the lacha (ferry) to cross to the other side of the Bay, since it is not allowed to pass through the tunnel of bicycles or motorcycles.
  • If it is still open, we will visit the Church of Nuestra Señora de Regla.
  • We will visit the sculpture of El Cristo de La Habana, a majestic and colossal statue that is located at the entrance of the port of Havana, on the left side, between the fortress of San Carlos de la Cabaña and the town of Casablanca and from where you can enjoy magnificent views of the other side of the bay where the lights highlight the beauty of the city.
  • For the return we will take the boat again, but this time leaving the town of Casablanca before we will pass by the exterior of the Fortress of San Carlos de la Cabaña, as well as the Castle of the Three Kings of the Morro.
  • We will take a snack and continue our journey to the starting point. During the trip you will be able to contemplate a different Havana cigar that opens its way to us under the moonlight.
