Program Details
“STUNNING VISTAS” Tour
The tour begins with a short drive from Viñales (by car or taxi) to a small valley located 6 km from the town center. From there, we start a guided hike between two valleys, where you will meet local farmers and discover a wide variety of crops. Thanks to the exceptional fertility of the soil, almost everything grows here. You will learn about traditional farming methods and visit a tobacco farm to uncover some of the secrets behind the world’s finest tobacco.
We then continue along narrow paths through forests and hills. Parts of the hike are shaded, and along the way you will reach several natural viewpoints offering stunning panoramic views of three different valleys and the ocean — views that cannot be seen from any other location. The area is rich in flora and fauna, including many species endemic to Cuba.
The descent can be adapted to the client’s preference:
- An easier route, following a path that ends in a grapefruit plantation
- A more challenging route, steeper but safe and manageable — no rock-climbing experience required, just a sense of adventure and careful footing
After the descent, we cross another valley surrounded by mogotes, with extensive tobacco and rice fields. At the end of the hike, we return to Viñales by car.
