Viñales, nestled in the misty, forested highlands of western Cuba, is a paradise for nature lovers and adventure seekers. Known for its breathtakingly beautiful valley, soaring pine trees, and ancient limestone caves, this UNESCO World Heritage site also prides itself on its distinctive tobacco fields, where some of the world's finest cigars begin their life. A ride on horseback through these verdant fields, guided tours of the gargantuan Cueva del Indio, and rock climbing the majestic mogotes, are just a few of the exhilarating adventures Viñales offers. The town itself is a beacon of traditional Cuban culture, with brightly colored houses, lively music, and local cuisine, making Viñales an exhilarating blend of adventure and culture that attracts travelers from around the globe.

Viñales

Viñales was definitely my favorite place in Cuba. I experienced amazing hikes with local guides, learned a lot about Cuba and its lifestyle, saw tobacco plantations, went horseback riding among beautiful landscapes, and explored caves. I felt very safe.
