    Yeah.. It's some typical tourist ventures-so what! It's a day away from the usual. Have a cigar, have a coffee, a rum,some good food,more drinks and enjoy natural beauty. You are on holiday after all and you'll do "touristy" sooner or later.

    Vinales Valley is a wonderful place to visit! Go here for: - Great food and drinks that are very reasonably priced - party on the main street and town square with some fantastic live music and dance - Natural beauty, sunrise and sunset views, peace and quiet - gorgeous caves - hikes, horse riding, tobacco farms - friendly people all around You get to see some beautiful faces of rural Cuba which is very different from Havana or Varadero, highly recommend to visit this.

    Nice cigars, juices and very tasty rum. A paradise for flavour, gaucho style nightlife and very very good music. Some months are very touristy ..... stay on the hills for amazing views

    (Translated by Google) Super beautiful place with a breathtaking view of the valley, it is really beautiful and breathtaking. I went with Cubatur and it was the best excursion I have done. We ate a typical meal in a small restaurant and then looked at this magnificent wall for a long time while riding a horse. Beautiful day. (Original) Super bel endroit avec une vue imprenable sur la vallée, c'est vraiment beau et à couper le souffle. J'y suis allée avec Cubatur et c'est la meilleure excursion que j'aie faite. Nous avons mangé un repas typique dans un petit restaurant puis regardé longuement ce mur magnifique en montant à cheval. Belle journée.

    BE NICE TO THE ANIMALS! Give the dogs lots of love and don't ride the horses, because you know they have terrible lives.

    If you're an adventurer and don't want to stay in the super-touristy spots of Havana or Varadero, take a day trip to Vinales. It's so beautiful here and you won't regret it. From Havana, it's a 3 hour drive. Via bus, it's about 12 CUC, one way. If you take a yellow taxi, they will charge you much more than that. Try and get a local to take you, but make sure there's at least 4 of you to make it worth the drivers' time and money. When in Vinales, do the 5 hour horse tour. It's absolutely amazing. Cigars, coffee, scenery... Amazing.

    (Translated by Google) I loved The view from the lookout is spectacular. I discovered how many kilometers away my country is 😱 it is a pity that it is so far 😓 I went on Saturday and at night there were many people in the center because the restaurants take out the tables and there is music, mojitos, very cool food. And on Sunday I took the bus tour that takes you to the mural of prehistory, Cueva del Indio. Very nice you can't miss it. ♥ ️ ♥ ️ ♥ ️ ♥ ️ (Original) Me encantò La vista desde el mirador es espectacular. Descubrì a cuantos kilometros de distancia se encuentra mi país 😱 es una pena que este tan lejos 😓 Yo fui el sabado y en la noche habia muchos personas en el centro porque los restaurantes sacan las mesas y hay musica, mojitos, comida muy padre. Y el domingo di el recorrido en el autobus que te lleva al mural de la prehistoria, Cueva del indio. Muy bonito no te lo puedes perder.♥️♥️♥️♥️

    Loved the city, old and quiet, but I have to say, beware with the places to eat, food was so expensive and horrible, Do Not go to Italian food places, pizza is horrible and the meat they sell smell bad and is kind of plastic! Anyways the city is nice!

    Stunning and unspoilt. It was like being on the set of jurassic Park. Our hosts were brilliant, knowledgeable and gave us the tour of our lives. I will definitely be going back and will be taking a serious camera. The phone just didn't do the place justice and sadly my EOS R was packed away. 🤦🏿‍♂️😕🤬 I'll definitely be back 😎👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿

    Trying to escape from the Havana Routine, Viñales is the place to go: This is the country side but everyone in Viñales is pro tourising, all the houses are available to rent, the Hostals, apartments look better than most in La Havana and most in Matanzas. People seem to be more friendly, food taste better and the air is cleaner. You're surrounded by the Viñales mountains which have kind of the square formation. We did the horseback riding through Viñales Valley $20 to$25 and the tour took us to the top, from where you can see and appreciate the Valley and the mountains, a great and tiring experience. I suggest you visit for at least two days so you can visit all the locations like the caves and walk around the town and do the Zip lining. Overall, we had a much better time at Viñales than at La Havana and Matanzas. We visited with teens and they loved it. One thing I didn't like was the Indian Cave, they charged us full price but didn't tell us that half of the cave was closed down, ask first.

    (Translated by Google) Viñales is one of the most visited places by tourists. The Viñales Valley is a very peculiar place in Cuba for its mogotes. From the viewpoint of the Ermita hotel you can enjoy the best views of this beautiful place. It is very popular to do horseback riding, the owners of the rental houses make these arrangements. (Original) Viñales es uno de los sitios más visitados por los turistas. El Valle de Viñales es un lugar muy peculiar de Cuba por sus mogotes. Desde el mirador del hotel Ermita podrá disfrutar de las mejores vistas de este bello lugar. Es muy popular hacer recorridos a caballo, los dueños de las casas de alquiler hacen estas coordinaciones.

    (Translated by Google) We discovered this magnificent valley on a 3 hour horse ride. A calm and peaceful moment light years from Havana. A majestic place.

    The best handmade cigars are born here. I am not a smoker person, but it was the cigar which I really liked. Because of the rush I have bought a box of cigars in havana for 120 CUC, but I’d rather spend them on hand made cigars created by Vinales people.

    (Translated by Google) The Viniales valley is a valley full of history, know-how and friendly and welcoming premises. The view is magnificent and life is beautiful. I had an unforgettable stay there. I listened to a so legendary "Color Cubano" group there. It was great, thank you! (Original) La vallée de Viniales est une vallée gorgée d'histoire, de savoir-faire et de locaux sympathiques et accueillants. La vue est magnifique et la vie y est belle. J'ai vécue un séjour inoubliable là-bas. J'y ai écouté un groupe "Color Cubano" tellement mythique. C'était génial, merci !

    (Translated by Google) Once you enter the valley, you will discover the mottos, those mountainous formations with vertical walls and flat crest, with various shades of green. They date from Jurassic, they are limestone rocks eroded by intensely fallen rains. (Original) Odată pătrunși in interiorul văii, veți descoperii magotele, acele formațiuni muntoase cu pereții verticali și creștet plat, cu variate nuanțe de culoare verde. Ele datează din Jurasic, sunt roci calcaroase erodate de ploile intens căzute.

  • 3/5 ivan r. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Well .... I don't understand what is so exciting in this valley, perhaps because I am comparing it to many valleys in Trentino and Valle d'Aosta. We went on an excursion from Havana, and we all thought it was worth it to do so many km between a / r (Original) Mah.... non capisco cosa ci sia di così esaltante in questa valle, forse perchè mi viene da paragonarla a molte valli del Trentino e Valle d'Aosta. Ci siamo andati in escursione dall'Avana, e tutti pensavamo se ne era valsa la pena fare così tanti km tra a/r

    (Translated by Google) Viñales is an unmissable place, a beautiful place surrounded by vegetation, if you love nature this is the perfect place. It is impressive how trees grew in abundance in stones, it is a place that gives tranquility and each landscape is spectacular. You can not stop taking the explanation and learn about the preparation of the cigar, and take the opportunity to buy or drink rum, honey or coffee. (Original) Viñales es un lugar imperdible, un hermoso lugar rodeado de vegetación, si te encanta la naturaleza este el lugar perfecto. Es impresionante como en piedras crecieron árboles en abundancia, es un lugar que da tranquilidad y cada paisaje es espectacular. No puedes dejar de tomar la explicación y conocer respecto a la elaboración del habano, y aprovechar para comprar o tomar ron, miel o café.

  • 5/5 Alexis 1. 1 year ago on Google
    Viñales is amazing. We had horse tours through the whole valley. Though, not all horses are being well treated. Those next to the colorful walls stood there sattled in the sun the whole time we were there and no water around. We were looking for real ranches to rent the horses. The owners name was Juan. At another ranch the young owner showed us how they grow and dry tobacco and rolled us a cigar right in front of our eyes.

    Visited the cigar farms in this area Long 3.5 hrs drive from Havana to this beautiful valley The cigar farm is registered to harvest tobacco and produce cigars for government linked companies like Cohiba Montecristo Romeo n Juliet etc.

    (Translated by Google) The valley of Vignales with its peculiar, round mountains is something very special. A very fertile valley with beautiful vegetation, rare orchids and birds that only exist in Cuba, e.g. the Cuban Amazon, a magnificent species of parrot, or the bee hummingbird, the smallest bird in the world. The people there were very hospitable and accommodating, and in the evenings we had a lot of fun with music and dancing. (Original) Das Tal von Vignales ist mit seinen eigenartigen, runden Bergen etwas ganz besonderes. Ein sehr fruchtbares Tal mit schöner Vegetation, seltenen Orchideen und Vögeln, die es nur auf Kuba gibt, z.B. die Kuba-Amazone, eine prächtige Papageienart, oder den Bienenkolibri, den kleinsten Vogel der Welt. Die Menschen dort waren sehr gastfreundlich und zuvorkommend, wir hatten abends viel Spaß bei Musik und Tanz.

    Very nice town in the middle of the Vinales Valley. We visited in 1 day leaving early in the morning from Havana. We could see the whole valley from the top, had also a tour in the cigar industry which was very interesting

  • 5/5 Phibappé T. 5 years ago on Google
    A must visit in Viñales. May join a horse riding tour to go for a day trip. A good touristic experience. You may pass by the lake and swim a bit. The scenes along the valley is breathtaking. If you go there during sunset will be an amazing one. The tour guide usually bring you to the tobacco farms and rum making place for visit which also expect you may buy something there. The price of the cigars in tobacco farm usually higher than other tobacco farms which are not in the valley.

  • 5/5 Edo �. 4 years ago on Google

    (Translated by Google) A wonderful valley. You should definitely hike through the Viñales Valley. Unfortunately, the 4-hour hike specified in the itinerary did not take place on our tour. We saw a lot anyway. Caves, a tobacco plantation, cigar factories, the city of Vinales, nice restaurants, pure nature as well unique viewpoints. So definitely, explore this valley extensively. (Original) Ein herrliches Tal. Durch das Viñales Tal sollte man unbedingt wandern. Leider fiel bei unserer Rundreise die im Reiseverlauf angegebene 4 stündige Wanderung aus. Gesehen haben wir trotzdem sehr viel. Höhlen, eine Tabakplantage, Zigarrenfabriken, die Stadt Vinales, schöne Restaurants, Natur pur sowie einzigartige Aussichtspunkte. Also auf jeden Fall, dieses Tal ausgiebig erkunden.

    (Translated by Google) A beautiful lookout point with a magnificent view of the "Viñales" valley, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It is a national park and the place is very often visited by tourists. The view is extraordinary, especially if the weather is good. NEGATIVE: They will offer you something everywhere at very high prices and you need to bargain a lot. The prices of anything are very high compared to normal prices in the country. The purchased T-shirt was very poor quality. The fabric tore very soon, it was not cotton, the color on the T-shirt was still dissolving the same day. (Original) Krásné vyhlídkové místo kde se nabízí nádherný výhled do údolí „Viñales”, zapsaném na seznam světového kulturního dědictví UNESCO. Jedná se o národní park a toto místo je velmi často navštěvované turisty. Výhled je neobyčejný zejména, pokud je dobré počasí. NEGATIVNÍ: Všude vám budou něco nabízet za velmi vysoké ceny a je potřeba hodně smlouvat. Ceny čehokoliv jsou tu velmi vysoké oproti normálním cenám v zemi. Zakoupené tričko bylo velmi nekvalitní. Látka se velmi brzo roztrhla, nejednalo se o bavlnu, barva na tričku se ještě ten samý den rozpouštěla.

    The Viñales valley is encircled by mountains and its landscape is interspersed with dramatic rocky outcrops. Traditional techniques are still in use for agricultural production, particularly of tobacco. The quality of this cultural landscape is enhanced by the vernacular architecture of its farms and villages, where a rich multi-ethnic society survives, illustrating the cultural development of the islands of the Caribbean, and of Cuba. Initially, we are going for the sunrise but it was too cloudy that day. Now, go through the photos taken again, still not bad to see the Valley itself.
