The picturesque town of Viñales, located within the Viñales National Park, is for many one of the most fascinating places in all of Cuba.

The town has architectural remains from the colonial period which, adds to the environmental value, making Viñales a place of outstanding beauty, so it is not surprising that it has been declared a National Monument in 1979.

Here the atmosphere is very welcoming and peaceful, which is idyllic for enjoying a few days of relaxation and reflection and being in touch with nature. There are many choices for outdoor activities, such as climbing, horseback riding, etc.

Some of the most interesting places to visit in Viñales are: the Municipal Museum, the Charity Garden and the Tobacco Plantation of Casa del Veguero; but without a doubt, what most attracts visitors to this place is the Viñales Valley, a beautiful natural environment, dotted with impressive hillocks, forming an unmatchable landcape. In fact, it is not surprising that it has been declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in the Cultural Landscape division.

It is worth admiring this incomparable landscape from the famous Jasmines Lookout and visiting the valley itself to see the “Mural de la Preshistoria” (Prehistoric Mural) , which symbolizes the evolution of life in the area.

Staying in a private house in Viñales is a unique experience, as it allows you to get closer to local life, see life as Cubans do and it is also an excellent starting point to get to know many places in the western part of Cuba, such as Cayo Jutías, Cayo Levisa or María la Gorda.
