Valle de Viñales 2-Day Excursion
Description
If you are eager to immerse yourself in nature and leave the city behind, consider embarking on a 2-day adventure to Valle de Viñales. Discover the iconic landscapes of western Cuba!
Description
Day 1
Our journey begins with a pick-up at your accommodation in La Habana, as we set off towards Valle de Viñales, a stunning locale designated as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1999.
During our travel, we will pass by several tobacco plantations, which are essential to the region's agricultural output. This area is renowned as the premier tobacco producer in Cuba. Upon reaching Viñales, we will tour a tobacco factory to gain insights into the cultivation process and observe the art of rolling the renowned Cuban cigars.
Our next stop will feature the captivating Prehistoric Mural, recognized as one of the oldest outdoor frescos globally, painted on rock that dates back to the Jurassic period!
To conclude our first day, we will savor a sumptuous meal showcasing traditional Cuban dishes while enjoying live music, creating an inviting atmosphere. Before retiring for the day, we will venture into the Cueva del Indio, an ancient cave filled with mineral formations. Here, we’ll embark on a short boat ride along the river that flows through the cave, leading to a stunning grotto.
After a day packed with activities, you will be dropped off at your hotel for a restful night in preparation for another exciting day ahead.
Day 2
On our second day, we’ll rise early, starting the day with a hearty breakfast while enjoying the view of a sunrise over Valle de Viñales. A perfect way to kick off the adventure!
No journey is complete without a dose of adventure, so we’ll ramp up the excitement with some ziplining experiences. You'll glide down zip lines measuring up to 400 meters (1312 feet), surrounded by the stunning natural scenery.
Next, we'll return to a gentler pace by mounting horses to explore the picturesque landscapes this region offers. We'll ride through the renowned hills of Viñales and the Valle del Silencio.
After expending all that energy, we will indulge in more traditional Cuban fare before making our way back to La Habana, stopping one last time at the Mirador de los Jazmines, also known as the Viñales balcony.
As we complete this nature-filled escape, we will return you to your original departure point in La Habana, with an anticipated arrival time between 5 PM and 6 PM.
