 Hiking & Trekking
Cuba offers terrific hiking and trekking possibilities. Imagine
following in the footsteps of Fidel and his rebels band in a three-day
trek over the Sierra Maestra mountain range, crossing Pico Turquino,
Cuba's highest mountain. Marked walking trails, maps and professional
guides are almost non-existent but local residents will usually guide
you for just a few Cuban Convertible Pesos (CUC).
Horseback riding
Popular among visitors, and special tourist ranches have been
established at Baconao, Trinidad and Pinar del Rio in the west, where
you can ride through tobacco fields.
Wind Surfing
The northeasterly tradewinds bring good swells between December and
April, but surfers will have to bring their own boards as none are
locally available for rent. Windsurf boards can be rented at most beach
resorts
SCUBA diving
Cuba is endowed with wonderful areas for scuba diving and the 30-odd
dive centers across the country offer organized dives, courses and
equipment for hire.
