Places to Visit In Vinales Valley
- Did you know, Vinales Valley is not only a national park but is also a UNESCO World Heritage site? The valley has been awarded the honor because of the amazing limestone rock formations popularly known as ‘mogotes’. The traditional architecture of villages and tobacco farms in the valley is more than capable of leaving you awestruck! The Vinales town located in the valley is also worth exploring.
- Mural de la Prehistoria located just 4km outside the town demands a visit! You may cycle to this huge mural painted on a side of Mogote Pita. It was designed by Leovigildo González Morillo back in 1961 and took four years to be completed. The gaudy colors provide a drastic contrast to the natural landscape of the area. In case you are wondering what the painting represents, it is the theory of evolution!
- As you go up the mountain slopes, you will be greeted by the community of Aquaticos. It is believed that when the locals didn’t have access to proper medicines they used water’s healing power to cure certain diseases. The view from up the mountain is sure to take your breath away.
- Valle del Silencio is perfect for taking a relaxed evening stroll. Visit some tobacco farms with a local guide.
