Off-the-beaten-path travelers will find an authentic Cuban countryside experience in Viñales. The Valley of Vinales is a national park and a UNESCO Cultural Heritage Site, where visitors will get the most from their time by staying in a Casa Particular (local’s private home), and by taking one of several specialized local tours, where visitors can talk directly with locals about what they do. On the Secrets of the Tobacco Tour, guests will visit the tobacco farm of Luis Prieto, the youngest cigar man in the country, a despalillo where tobacco leaves are processed, and a cigar factory where they’re made by hand. Other tours include organic farms and various plantations, the Valley of Silence, and Lookout of the Aquatic. Vinales
