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 views, friendly people. Natural Cuba at its finest, a must-see. We stayed at an Airbnb on a cigar plantation, horseback rode through farms, incredible rock formations and went spelunking. Spent an evening in town with great rum and cigars, plus a fun band.

160 million years of history
My favorite photo shot from Cuba was from here, no words, just emotions. There are few way to take a great shots: from the Jasmine hotel, and by car, by the way to valley, ~300 mt from hotel, you will see a left turn (without asphalt) with benches on it.response / report this review -

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.response / report this review -

This place is astonishing. Here you can really admire the beauty of cuban nature. Watching the sun going down between the red clay hills during sunset is a breath-taking experience. I suggest to rent a bike and travel all around the valley. It is worthwhile visiting the tobacco plantations, too. For a bunch of CUC you can explore the world of handcrafted Habanos, from the tobacco leave to the taste of the cigar. Usually, you can buy some cigars directly from the owner of the plantation after the tour. Possibly ask the locals to visit also a pineapple plantation. It is very nice.

Incredibly beautiful valley that is a popular location for tobacco growing. A great way to explore the region is by horseback. If you're going to Cuba, definitely spend at least a day here.

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.response / report this review -

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.response / report this review -

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.

One of the extraordinary natural wonders of Cuba and maybe the world. The views are spectacular both from afar and within the formation of mogotes. Sunrises and beautiful sunsets. Must visit.

It is an attraction and as the name says it attracts lots of tourists. If you're okay with that then its beautiful For us it was too much - it didn't feel like holidays when you hear people talking German on the streets all day.
