? Full Description Day 1: Your adventure begins with a departure from Havana toward Pinar del Río. Our first stop is a traditional tobacco plantation, where you’ll learn the secrets of the "Habanos" and see the artisanal drying process. We then visit the Mural of Prehistory, a 120-meter painting on the side of a mogote. The morning ends at the Cueva del Indio, where you’ll navigate an underground river by boat. After a traditional "Criollo" lunch, you’ll have free time to explore the charming town of Viñales before settling into your private accommodation.

Day 2: After breakfast at your casa particular, the excitement ramps up with a zipline circuit through the valley's lush canopy. We then head to the "Valley of Silence" for a 2 to 3-hour horseback riding excursion. This is the perfect way to see the hidden corners of the valley where cars cannot reach. You’ll visit a local farm to see coffee and honey production before enjoying a final lunch. We conclude the trip with a stop at the Los Jazmines viewpoint—the most famous photo spot in Cuba—before heading back to Havana.
