Viñales Valley, UNESCO World Heritage Valley in Pinar del Río Province, Cuba.
Viñales Valley is a 132-square-kilometer valley in Pinar del Río Province located within the Sierra de los Órganos mountains. It features distinctive limestone formations called mogotes rising to 300 meters, along with numerous caves scattered throughout the region.
The region was settled during the era of Spanish conquistadors, with communities dating back to that period. Since colonial times, people have maintained traditional farming methods that have shaped the area.
Local farmers cultivate tobacco here using methods passed down through generations, contributing to the production of Cuban cigars. These practices shape the landscape and daily life of the valley's communities.
The best time for activities like hiking, horseback riding, and cave exploration is November through April, when weather conditions are most favorable. During these months, the region is easiest to explore and outdoor activities are most enjoyable.
A large mural on a rock face depicts the evolution of life through representations of species found in the region. This artwork is a striking landscape feature and was created to document prehistoric history in stone.
