Turismo

Bicycle touring is a practice that never goes out of fashion and is a sustainable tourism modality of great value. In recent years, especially after the pandemic, the use of bicycles as a means of transportation has gained momentum and gained ground, becoming a sustainable form of tourism that respects the environment.

 

Traveling by bicycle and getting to know other places is an authentic way to explore a city. Many cyclists have testified the great sensations they experience when riding and traveling by bicycle, such as breathing fresh air, appreciating the landscapes that parade before their eyes during their journeys to reach their destination, explore it and meet people, an experience that they treasure.

In this case we refer to visit Havana by renting a bicycle or obtaining the services of guided bicycle tours offered by the Canadian/Cuban company Jimy Bikes.
 
After its opening in September 2022, Jimy Bikes has made its mark by targeting people who wish to travel in a more intimate way either renting its bicycles or getting its guided tour services around the Cuban capital.
 
Guided tours are a good option for those who want to learn about Cuban culture and the beauty of this city.
 
The rhythm of the bicycle trip is perfect to show the tourist the Cuban culture and the beauty of this city. As you glide through the various neighborhoods of Old Havana, Vedado and Miramar, see impressive eclectic architecture, listen to romantic Cuban music, and meet the resilient and resourceful Cubans.
 
The purpose of Jimy Bikes is to offer a healthy way to get to know Havana, a vibrant and unique city, a jewel in the Caribbean.

"When I founded Jimy Bikes, my idea was to show visitors to Havana a city from my perspective as a tourist.
 
To take them to places that are not usually conventional or the most touristic, but always with the objective of promoting and showing the love for nature, architecture, art, and talent of many Cubans that often go unnoticed.
 
I have found a group of dancers, musicians and singers and placed them in some of the most incredible places through out Havana.
 
I use mansions, ecological parks and cathedrals that can only exist in Havana.
 
As the tour of Havana unfolds for the tourists we will go to the places where a moment of dance, music and song will occur.
 
It is magical. But Havana is a magical city romantic and frozen in time", he said.

Havana must be discovered in its entirety and what better way to do it than biking and admiring its different places. "Havana is a beautifully designed city. It is very humanistically designed to have a great mix of residential and commercial space.

It has many neighborhood parks well placed through out the city. It also has very large ecological parks of a grand scale that are lush, filled with urban sculpture and rivers and of a size that you can forget you are in a city with millions of people.

One Park is "Parque Almendares" along the Almendares River where Vedado meets Miramar.

The other grand park is "Parque Ecológico" in Miramar 7th avenue between 82 and 68. Our tours of city include both parks as well as urban parks with street art and sculpture", added James.
