NEW YORK, Aug. 20, 2024 - Exodus Adventure Travels, the leading adventure travel company with more than 50 years of experience providing small group tours, announces the return of its highly anticipated Cuba trips available for U.S. citizens starting October 2024. With a range of destination immersion and itineraries in compliance with OFAC Regulations, Exodus offers an authentic and educational Cuban experience for travelers, designed to empower local communities and support the Cuban people.
Cuba's vibrant culture and rich history have captivated travelers for years. Exodus Adventure Travels invites adventure seekers to rediscover this island nation through a range of thoughtfully crafted itineraries ranging from eight- to 15-day journeys, led by expert local guides.
Each trip is designed to showcase the Cuban people's incredible resilience. From classic cars and historic architecture to the resourcefulness and warmth of its people, Cuba provides a profound glimpse into a unique way of life that is both charming and educational.
"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 US travelers' bucket lists this fall and beyond into 2025. We are thrilled to offer these timeless experiences, all deeply rooted in local culture."
Exodus Adventure Travels offers four special itineraries designed to educate and immerse travelers in the local culture:
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.
