Full Description

Your adventure begins with a comfortable pickup from your accommodation in Havana. As we head west, you’ll watch the cityscape transform into rolling green hills. Our first stop is a local tobacco plantation where you will see how the world's finest cigars are made—from leaf to finished product. You’ll even have the chance to sample one!

⛰️ Next, we visit the heart of the valley to admire the Prehistoric Mural, one of the largest open-air frescoes in the world. We’ll then head to the Los Jazmines balcony for the most iconic view in Cuba. The journey continues into the earth at the Indian’s Cave (Cueva del Indio), where you’ll walk through mineral formations before boarding a boat to exit through a hidden river into the jungle. After a traditional Creole lunch and a stroll through the colorful colonial town of Viñales, we return to Havana in the late afternoon.
