regional info
image by: Romina MuraroVinales is about 40 km north of Pinar del Rio in the Pinar del Rio province.
The valley is stunning. The flat land, full of tobacco and palmtrees is scatered with 20-30 m high bumbs called mogotes. These are the remnants of the former plateau which is almost entirely washed away by water during the last couple of million years. The process is comparable with that in Cappadocia, (Turkey) but here's the mogotes are completely covered with green vegetation.
Like everywhere in Cuba, the people in Vinales are very friendly. The village, with it's colonial main street has a nice and friendly atmosphere.
