Che Guevara’s son offers ‘Motorcycle Diaries’ Cuba tour
December 11, 2014 12:23pm

Havana, Cuba — The youngest son of Cuban revolutionary Che Guevara has opened an agency offering two-wheel tours of the Caribbean island nation on Harley-Davidsons, in a nod to his father's passion for motorcycles.

The Marxist guerrilla's storied motorbike journey through South America was immortalized in the 2004 film "Motorcycle Diaries," directed by Brazil's Walter Salles and starring Mexican actor Gael Garcia Bernal.

The trip, spanning from December 1951 to July 1952, took the 23-year-old revolutionary to Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Peru and Venezuela.

Now, Che's son Ernesto Guevara wants to honor his father's famous ride by giving visitors to Cuba a "unique" trip through the country on Harley-Davidson motorcycles.

1. of course we americans are not allowed to go to cuba.

that being said i've always been fascinated by che. i've seen many movies about him. he gave up a life of luxury as a doctor to fight for what he believed in

2. It's good to hear your niece visited Cuba! Hope she really enjoyed her trip.

Che Guevara surely could have stepped right into a far more comfortable life, couldn't he?

When he stepped beyond his social class, and saw the way really poor people were being treated it compelled him to spend the rest of his life trying to change things in order to lessen the suffering of the helpless, abused, scorned, mocked, exploited poor.

That's a hero.
