Viñale, Cuba

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.

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.
