Three years ago, I toured Cuba with Che Guevara’s youngest son, Ernesto («Che’s Kid Hits the Road»). Along with Ernesto’s closest friend, Camilo and our incomparable tour guide, Inalvis («rhymes with Elvis», Ina would say), five Americans and four Europeans rode new Harley Davidson motorcycles through the beautiful Cuban countryside for seven days. It was glorious. Ernesto and his team could not have been more competent and helpful nor the Cuban people more warm and welcoming. In a packed hotel bar in the beautiful city of Trinidad, I watched the first quarter of the Super Bowl (in Spanish, of course) where my beloved Patriots were trailing Atlanta 28-0. After many inquiries over the next few days, I was shocked (and elated) to learn that New England had won the game. Thank you, Ernesto and the team at Poderosa Tours. Riding a Harley across Cuba is the only «once-in-a-lifetime experience» I intend to do again someday.

I can’t say enough about my excellent experience with La Poderosa! From the moment that I was greeted exiting the plane, every possible need was attended to. Maria, in the office, Ernesto, Camillo and Jan as our dailey guides in our little Harley caravan were all focused on making our experience everything that was promised and more. Ina was our historian, interpreter and facilitator who helped make the tour informative and culturally rich. Our evenings were terrific social events enjoyed with Ernesto and Camillo. Great lodgings at terrific hotels, excellent meals, the mountains, the beaches; trip of a lifetime. DO IT!!

Richard Christine Hayes, Uk

The best possible way to see Cuba!!!!
TheTour is fantasticaly organised. With a great choice of modern Harley’s to choose from, all in perfect condition. Ernesto and Camilo did a wonderful job of leading us through the varied terrain of Cuba…as well as entertaining us at the stops and in the evenings. Ina, our amazing little cultural guide, had a thorough knowledge to impart on all of Cubam life.
The mix of long rides, cultural breaks, and time on the beach was just right! If you want to see Cuba, and can ride a motorcycle, this is the Tour for You!

Rüdiger Fischer, Germany

After a long time I wanted to do a motorcycle tour again in latin america. I was choosing between two different tours (the Enduro-Tour in colombia or the Harley-Tour on Cuba). Finally I took the La Poderosa-Tour on Cuba, because of the good comments.
Before my anticipation was big and I was so excited, but all that got overshooted!
The perfectly organization, the nice team and the other travelers with amazing personalities made the tour with Nestor and Camilo to an unforgettable and fantastic experience where I made some new friends!
All the Harleys are in the best condition and were verified and cleaned after every daily trip.
Also the food and the accommodations were well selected!
Personally I preferred the smaller hotels like Rancho San Vincente“ in Vinales, Pinar del Rio and „Lola“ in Trinidad more, than the bigger ones because of the individuality and the extraordinarily good service!

You have to do this tour! You can’t get to know Cuba better in nine days!
Thanks to Ina, Yanmaes and Maria-Elena!
Hoping to see you again!

Nach längerer Zeit wollte ich wieder eine Motorrad-Tour in Lateinamerika machen.
Bei den beiden Touren, die in Frage kamen (Enduro-Tour in Kolumbien oder Harley-Tour auf Kuba) habe mich mich aufgrund der vielen guten Rezensionen für die La Poderosa-Tour auf Kuba entschieden.
Meine Vorfreunde auf diese Tour war riesig, doch all meine Erwartungen wurden vor Ort noch weit übertroffen!!!
Perfekte Organisation (noch nicht einmal Deutsche können da meckern 😉 ), ein super Team und nette Mitreisende haben diese Tour mit Camilo und Nestor zu einem unvergesslichen, megatollen Erlebnis gemacht und mir die Möglichkeit gegeben tolle Freunde kennenzulernen.
Alle Harleys sind in einem erstklassigen und neuwertigen Zustand und wurden nach jeder Etappe überprüft und gereinigt. Das Essen und die Unterkünfte sind sehr gut ausgewählt, wobei mir persönlich die kleineren Hotels „Rancho San Vincente“ in Vinales, Pinar del Rio und „Lola“ in Trinidad durch ihre Individualität und Servicebereitschaft besser gefallen haben, wie die großen AI-Hotels.

Ihr müsst die Tour machen: Besser kann man Cuba in 9 Tagen nicht kennenlernen!!!

Vielen Dank auch Ina, Yanmaes und Maria-Elena.
Ich hoffe auf ein baldiges Wiedersehen 🙂

Jakob Frolich, Denmark

After having spend a couple of days with Ernesto and Camillo, I can only give them my highest recommendation. Riding with those guys was an absolute blast. They were fun, charming, but also experienced drivers, that one would always feel safe around. Its a completely different way of experiencing Cuba. You gotta try it at least once in your life….

Kari Korvenranta, Finland

Cuba, motorbikes and interesting guide was a combination I couldn’t resist.
I took apart to one week trip with Finnish group February 2018. We had several highlights at the trip, but simply best of all were Cuba and Cubans. Both of them was easier to get to know on bike than being just normal tourist. Positive thing was also safety as well on traffic as in the nightlife of Havana.
La Poderosa Tours took extremely good care of all arrangements. The whole trip was a great experience.
Thanks Ernesto and Maria Elena

Kuuba, moottoripyörät ja kiinnostava opas olivat yhdistelmä jota en voinut vastustaa.

Olin viikon reissulla suomalaisen ryhmän kanssa helmikuussa 2018. Matkalla oli monia huippuhetkiä, mutta kaikkein parasta kuitenkin oli Kuuba ja kuubalaiset. Molempiin pääsi tutustumaan moottoripyöräillessä paremmin kuin normituristina. Positiivista oli myös, että kaikkialla oli hyvin turvallista. Tämä koskee niin liikennettä kuin Havannan öisiä katuja.

La Poderosa Tours hoiti kaikki järjestelyt erinomaisesti. Matka oli mahtava kokemus.

Kiitos Ernesto ja Maria Elena.

Warum Kuba? Chirstian Gabriel, Austria

Why Cuba? Because I have heard so much positives and interesting things
about Cuba, because I wanted to discover the amiability and helpfulness by my own, because I simply wanted to enjoy this county. Though good friends I was informed about La Poderosa Tours – motorbike tours through Cuba, guided by Ernesto, this name is well known on this island… there was no better opportunity for me to experience Cuba, and today I can say, it needs time to assimilate these beautiful impressions … still enjoying … and I can tell a lot of nice stories .. see you soon Cuba, I will be back.

Warum Kuba? Weil ich so viel positives und interessantes über Kuba gehört habe, weil ich die Freundlichkeit und Hilfsbereitschaft selbst erleben und weil ich dieses wunderschöne Land einfach nur genießen wollte. Über gute Freunde erfuhr ich von La Poderosa Tours – Motorrad Touren auf Kuba, geführte von Ernesto, dessen Name wohl jeder auf dieser Insel kennt… für mich gab es keine bessere Gelegenheit Kuba zu erleben, heute kann ich sagen, es braucht Zeit diese vielen wunderschönen Eindrücke zu verarbeiten .. ich genieße immer noch .. und kann viele schöne Geschichten erzählen…. bis bald Cuba, ich komme wieder.  

What a great trip. Bob Laidlaw, Scotland

What a great trip and one I will never forget. Never been to Cuba and so glad I did. To see this amazing place on a Harley, in the company of other likeminded people was simply ace. 
I didn’t know any of them as was a solo traveller. Within 24 hours the group from Finland, Holland, Austria, Switzerland and twe of us from Scotland (the other Scot I never met before either) were all brothers and sisters, who had such a great time together that we later in year meet up in Scotland to ride again, this time on our own Harleys around the beautiful Scottish Highlands. We plan to ride together in southern Spain this year.
All this was made possible by the team in Cuba and the way they made sure everything we could need was there for us. The bikes, the guides, the support team, the places we ate, the places we stayed, the roads we rode, the places we visited, everything was spot on. No day was to long in the saddle, but we saw so much of this stunning and friendly island. Our La Poderosa road crew and guides became family to us and did everything they could to keep us safe and ensure we had fun. They ate with us, rode with us, educated us, entertained us and had a good few beers and the odd bottle of rum with us. So, as you can I hope see, I had a fantastic trip and one I’d strongly recommend.
Attached are a few photos. 
Which are – 

  1. So happy I could do a highland fling. 
  2. End of trip few beers down in old Havana with my new brothers and sisters. 
  3. The support bike, which we called the ‘ghost bike’, as all it did was follow us around – glad I didn’t have to clean it. 
  4. Our man Ernesto proves he can’t sign a note, but tries.
  5. Our lead road crew Ernesto and Camilo at the Che Memorial.
  6. Our ladies outside a stopover hotel, wrapped up for the night. 
  7. The ladies waiting for us to return from a bit of sight seeing.
  8. My lady in Cuba. 
  9. The Cuba gang meet up again in Edinburgh, before heading off to tour the Highlands.
