About This Experience

Set off to discover Cuban tobacco plantations, the birthplace of the famous Havana cigars. This adventure in the Viñales Valley will also allow you to explore the jungle and navigate through an ancient cave. Itinerary Departure will be from your hotel, heading to the Viñales Valley, a UNESCO World Heritage site since 1999, nestled in western Cuba. On the way, you will enjoy a stop at a traditional ranch, offering a panorama of the typical rural houses of the region. As you travel through the tobacco plantations, you will learn that this region is the most important for tobacco production on the island. Upon your arrival in Viñales, you will visit a tobacco factory, where you will observe the traditional process of rolling leaves to create the iconic Cuban cigars. If you feel like it, you can savor a cigar offered by the establishment. Venturing into the heart of the Viñales Valley, marvel at the Prehistoric Mural, one of the largest open-air works of art in the world, painted on rocks dating from the Jurassic era. Your visit will continue to the Los Jazmines viewpoint, nicknamed "the balcony of Viñales," which offers a breathtaking view of the mogotes, those rounded-top mountains, as well as the vibrant vegetation that covers the valley. You will have the opportunity to enjoy a traditional meal accompanied by folk music, while taking in the view of the valley. Once refreshed, you will enter the Cueva del Indio, an ancient cave adorned with mineral sculptures.
