Day tripping in Vinales! | Story

Add to Trip

Viñales is a town in western Cuba. It is the perfect combination of nature and Cuban culture. Vinales is known as one of the country’s most beautiful towns, best known for its limestone hills and tobacco farms and laid back lifestyle. If you love cigars, adventure and culture, this is a must do day trip.

We rented a classic car which made the two hour drive from Havana fun. Everyone was excited since we had the opportunity to sample the finest tobacco directly from the source. The highlight was a guided tour via horseback through the farms to learn how the cigars are made from start to finish.
