Today we’ll head to the picturesque valleys of ViƱales, home to some of Cubaās most beautiful landscapes with dramatic limestone mountains and lush farming fields. Head through the ViƱales Valley to Pinar del Rio and visit a region famous for its tobacco growing grounds. Weāll head to the Francisco DonatiĆ©n cigar factory and watch the art of Cuban cigar rolling by the āTorcedoresā (aka Cigar rollers). Please refrain from taking any pictures or videos while inside the factory.
Then, continue through ViƱales valley to the tobacco fields of Casa del Vegeuro as we continue our fascinating history lesson on cigars and tobacco. Next up is the Mural de la Prehistoria. Your guide will explain the significance of this 120 metre long and 80 metre high mural. Finish up the day with a visit to the private gardens of Jardin Caridad. Located in the heart of ViƱales, these private botanical gardens are amongst the most beautiful in Cuba with over 190 varieties of plant.
Please note: Tobacco factories are closed to regular visitors during holidays, weekends, company holidays and festivals. We cannot guarantee factory hours and in case of closure an alternative itinerary will be discussed with travellers.
