Viñales exploring Pinar del Río

The next stop in my Cuban trip was Viñales, about two and half hours away from La Havana.

Viñales is a town in western Cuba, in the region of Pinar del Río. This place felt like it was built just for a movie. You get guajiros smoking cigars on their rocking chair while the front doors of their house are left wide open, incredibly colorful streets and colonial-era wooden houses, and beautiful fincas (farms) where you get to eat amazing avocados, papayas and mangos.

 Exploring the Valley

If you’re into hiking, Viñales is also the opportunity to go for a day trip in the valley.

 

Hope you enjoyed this series! Next stop is Cienfuegos, my favorite Cuban city! See ya!
