Cubans specializing in bicycle transport and international exchange programs host the program. IBF sponsors educational programs for those who want to learn more about the people of the world, as well as see the beautiful sights. The primary mode of travel is bicycle. The cycling varies from program to program but is generally easy to moderate. Side trips are available for those with extra energy.
Accommodations are a mix private housing and small hotels.
All participants receive comprehensive pre-departure materials with detailed instructions on setting up their bicycle, packing, training and other information for program preparation. This program explores real Cuba. Participants need to be prepared to live without their normal food, hot shower, fancy bed, etc. The program is ideal for the realist who appreciates the world and the wonderful rewards gained for the modest rigors of bicycle touring. We hope to get through license limbo soon and announce firm dates for the 2001-2002 season.
