The Viñales Valley in the Piñar del Rio province west of Havana is one of the most beautiful areas in Cuba. The valley is dominated by spectacular mogotes - karst-like conical towers of limestone up to 300 metres high formed by millions of years of wind and water erosion. Interspersed amongst these are the lush green fields of tobacco and sugar cane that form an important part of Cuba's economy. Traditional agricultural techniques are still used to maintain the best quality tobacco for Cuba's famous cigars. The valley is ideal for exploration by foot of its natural and cultural uniqueness.
