Havana  Viñale  Trinidad
Viñale

this is a view of Vinale from the top of the comino de las aguas
I managed to find the time to visit Viñale at the end of my trip in Cuba and I'm very glad I did, I actually regret that I didn't stay longer.

Viñale is the tobacco plantations area in Cuba.
I found very genuine people there, generous and respectful.
This man in the picture is a Cuban farmer who showed me the Tobacco processing in "his" plantation, a very good man.

The landscapes in Viñale look prehistorical, Viñale is very rural,is beautiful and quite countryside. El camino de las aguas is a 2 hours walk in the mountains, is must! I liked it because you meet the local farmers who are genuinely nice and the view is spectacular.
Another Cuban farmer who helped with the direction when I got lost

This was the last farmer at the end of the "Camino de las aguas" on the top  of the mountain, excellent man, he offered me a Rum made by himself, likely I found my way back. The picture below shows the view from his balcony.
