Wednesday 22nd August 2007 Drugs were working a treat so we got an 8am taxi with a couple to Viñales and found a lovely little Casa Particular which had it's own veranda above the family home. ... We took a horse trek late in the afternoon through the Sierra de Viñales alongside the Mogotes and stopped at a little hut where we were served a Coconut filled with rum and honey. ... We booked our trip to the beach tomorrow and even though we really are spending far more time on the coast than I would have thought it's just so hot it's all you really want to do! Dinner was at the Casa Particular again.Wednesday 22nd August 2007 Drugs were working a treat so we got an 8am taxi with a couple to Viñales and found a lovely little Casa Particular which had it's own veranda above the family home. ...

Mar 20, 2006 - Weekend in Valle de Vinjales

Hello everyone! First of all some more carpictures as Brick requested ;o) Last weekend we went to Valle de Vinjales and we had a great time there!

Dec 16, 2005 - Cuba - Pinar del Río - Viñales

¡Hola, mi amol! A small town full of colonial houses, each painted in a different colour, old Soviet and American cars, painted as well in different colours, and the beauty of Viñales' karst limestone hills or "mogotes". ... We spent five very relaxing days in Viñales, stayed at the home of Mileidys and Borys and had long chats with them every evening. ... Viñales is a cute small town where everybody knows everybody and where nearly everybody knew us after a few days hanging around its main street and its beautiful surroundings. ... We walked around and inbetween the mogotes (and thought for a second we were back in Yanghuo, China): Dos Hermanas, Palenque de los Cimarrones, Cueva del Indio, Valle de Viñales, Mogote Central. ... We were sorry to leave Viñales behind but we had planned that our last week in Cuba we would take a holiday from travelling and find a nice beach where we could do nothing all day, so. ...
