Vinales gets into your soul!!! It's hard to describe how magical this place is. It's like stepping back in time to a place where families and friends meet on street corners and talk about their day and laugh and smoke. Where cowboys and their horses rule the roads and people dance their cares away at the end of the day. Cuba itself is beautiful but Vinales steals your heart!!…

My friend and I actually went back here on our trip to Cuba. We wanted more time to explore the fantastic nature in Vinales.

If, like me, you really only know Cuba from the pictures of the main tourist hubs such as Havana, Trinidad and Santiago De Cuba, then you will be pleasantly surprised by what the countryside has to offer. It's a bit of a time-warp to see so many horse & carts in use and fields being ploughed by oxen, but you feel that this is the real Cuba. The Vinales valley is a very interesting area with lots to see - our tour went to the Indian Caves, a Tobacco Farm, Crocodile Park and the Prehistoric Mural. One of Cuba's hidden gems I think, I'd definitely recommend seeing this part of the country.…

Wonderful and quiet. You can do walking tours and horse tours, and discover the tobacco places. Must do in Cuba.

When we planned our trip to Cuba we knew that Havana, Trinidad and Santa Clara were our main objectives, but reading about Vinales enticed us into making the three hour journey west from Jose Marti airport for a three day stay and we were not disappointed. This rural area has a character all of its own, with a unique landscape, and we were able to visit a tobacco farm, with demonstration, and a coffee plantation similarly. It was a real learning curve for us to see how agricultural life goes on in this part of Cuba – it’s very labour intensive and extremely organic in its approach. Although it was a poor life there was also a real commitment to an unchanging culture of behaviour and we felt privileged to witness it and support it through purchases of coffee and honey. The horse riding was an extra bonus. All visitors to Cuba should ensure that they see this part of the island.…
