The Best 22 Things to Do in Viñales
What you decide to do in Viñales depends very much on the time that you have here. If you want to visit Viñales as a day trip from Havana, then we recommend that you read this article. If you’re wanting to spend longer than just a day in Viñales, then carry on, this is the best post on the things to do in Viñales for you.
There are two ways to visit Viñales and the surrounding area – you can take the time to visit independently, or you can arrange a tour. Tours can be arranged with a car and driver from your Casa Particular, before you arrive, or even from where you’re staying in Havana.
1. Take a Viñales Valley Tour
The most popular thing to do in Viñales is to take a tour of the valley of Viñales. The Valle de Viñales has been a protected UNESCO world heritage site since 1999 and it’s the rustic, quiet, unspoiled nature of the area that draws people here. You’ll cover more of the Vinales Valley more quickly if you take a tour by car.
My guide to ALL the UNESCO World Heritage sites in Cuba (as well what makes a UNESCO World Heritage Site) is here.
During a day in Viñales, you’ll be able to cover the main sites, attractions, and reasons to come to the Viñales Valley. Here’s an awesome tour of the Vinales Valley by classic car.

Your options when it comes to tours of Viñales depend on whether you’re starting from Havana or Viñales itself. Havana is approximately 90 minutes to 2 hours drive away. The main sites to see here in the Viñales Valley Tour are
- La Cueva del Indios
- La Mural Prehistoria
- The View from the Jazmines Hotel
- Visiting a Tobacco Plantation
- Visiting a Coffee Plantation
- Taking a horseback tour through the fields
A Viñales valley tour starting from Viñales will give you ample time to include a guided walking tour or a longer horseback tour too. You can check out options for guided Viñales tours here or ask at your Viñales Casa Particular or Hotel.
2. Take a Bike Tour of Vinales
While it’s great to take a classic car tour of Vinales, taking a tour by bike is a seriously fabulous way to see the valley. You’ll appreciate the landscape and the slow pace of life here so much more doing this under your own steam. Bike tours of Vinales last up to a full day, this one, which we recommend lasts 6 hours. Meet at 0900 and collect your bikes, then set off towards the Palenque de Los Cimarrones, the museum of Cuba’s colonial history and a great place to understand more about slavery here. Then you’ll also get to visit the Cueva del Indio, which you can also explore on a boat trip. Explore then the Mural of Prehistory after a little lunch in a local restaurant and then you’ll finish up at the Mirador de Los Jazmines for incredible views of the valley. Your Vinales biking tour will end here – but you can use the bikes for the rest of the day. Check out prices and book your Vinales bike tour now!
3. Take a free walking tour of Vinales.
You’ll need to be staying in Vinales to take this free walking tour of Vinales. It meets at 10 am in front of the Parque José Martí statue, right in the center of the city. You’ll learn about the origins of Viñales and their agricultural traditions. The tour visits the local area of “downtown”, and the botanical gardens, and finishes at a tobacco farm. The Vinales free walking tour lasts 2 hours and you will need to pre-book your place.
4. Take the Hop on Hop off Bus in Viñales
While it’s not the red double-decker bus that you might expect from other hop on hop off buses, this is still a great way to see the major Viñales viewpoints. The Viñales hop on hop off bus tour will take you around the primary things to see in Viñales.
Stops on this tour include Viñales caves, the viewpoint from the Hotel Los Jazmines, the Prehistoric Mural of Viñales, and tobacco plantations. Pick up the bus on the main street in Viñales and check out the current timetable there.
There is just one bus here providing this tour, so the driver stops for an appropriate length of time (don’t worry, there’s no rush, you’re on Cuban time now), at each stop let you take your photos and then you hop on again). If you want longer in a particular location, then you’ll have to wait until the bus comes round again, which is usually in 90 minutes or so.
Where to Get the Viñales Hop-on Hop-Off Bus
You can get on the Viñales Hop on Hop off bus on Viñales main street. There are a host of other stops, but this is most likely to be the bus stop closest to where you are staying.
Cost of the Viñales Hop-on Hop-Off Bus
The Viñales Hop on Hop Off Bus costs the equivalent of US$3. One US Dollar is 24 Cuban Pesos (CUP). You’ll have to pay in cash.
See the Mural de la Prehistoria Viñales
This mural near Viñales is some 4 kilometers (2.5 miles) from downtown Viñales and is not, despite its name, prehistoric. It was designed by Leovigildo Gonzales Morrillo in 1961. It then took 4 years and 18 people to complete it. The Mural de la Prehistoria is painted on the site of the natural formation that is Mogote Pita and the reason for the name of the mural is its content. The Viñales mural is said to represent the theory of evolution.
How to get to the Viñales Mural:
- You can walk to the Viñales Mural – the roads aren’t busy.
- You can cycle to the Viñales Mural from the center of Viñales, and rent bikes from Viñales.
- You can take the Hop on Hop off bus from Viñales to the Viñales Mural
- You can visit the Viñales Mural on a private tour from Viñales or Havana.

The prehistoric mural of Viñales Valley is bright and gaudy, and somewhat out of place in the natural environment. It stretches more than 100 meters (328 feet) and it’s open from 1100 until 1700. You can see it from the road towards it, the path that runs around the site or you can pay an entrance fee to get close up. Your entry fee to the Mural de la Prehistoria also includes a cocktail.
Where is the Viñales Mural?
You can find the Viñales Mural 2.5 miles from the center of Viñales and see where this is on our map of the Viñales area.
Cost of Visiting the Viñales Mural
The Viñales Mural entry costs US$3.
5. Take in the View at the Hotel Jazmines Viñales
As a place to stay in Viñales, the Hotel Jazmines is pretty lovely – when all the day-trippers have gone home. You get access to the pool which is the second attraction here, but the main attraction, which you don’t have to access the hotel for is the view.
From the parking lot of the Hotel Jazmines, where you’ll find a convenient café with cold and hot drinks, coffees, cocktails, and beers, you get an amazing view of the valley of Viñales.
The public viewpoint at the Hotel Los Jazmines gives you a glorious panoramic view over the Viñales Valley, mogotes, and tobacco plantations that bring so many visitors to Viñales.
6. Chill Out at the Hotel de Jazmines Pool in Viñales
If you’re not staying at the Hotel de Jazmines, you can still use the pool here. It’s a great place to relax and chill out and cool down after a day of sightseeing around the Viñales Valley. There are sunshades here, a great large pool to chill out or swim in, and sun loungers on which to enjoy the cocktails that are also available. If you are not a guest at the Jazmines Hotel, then entry to Jazmine’s pool comes with a cover charge.

Where is the Hotel Los Jazmines?
The Horizontes Hotel Los Jazmines is 1.75 miles (2.8 kilometers) from the center of Viñales on the road to Pinar del Rio See where this is on our map of the Viñales area.
7. Visit a Coffee Plantation in Viñales
While most visitors to the Viñales Valley will opt to tour a Tobacco Plantation you can also opt to check out a Cuban coffee plantation. Corazon de Valle is the most popular to visit. You’ll learn about coffee growing, and processing, and get to taste local coffee and even rum and honey too. Take home a sample of the coffee you’ve just tasted too! Tailor this tour to include a Vinales coffee plantation tour.
8. Visit a Tobacco Plantation in Viñales
I’m not sure what’s more famous Cuban cigars or Cuban cocktails. Either way, whether you smoke cigars or not, you can’t but fail to enjoy learning about the history of Cuban tobacco. You’ll learn how tobacco is cultivated here, which leaves are picked, and why. Explore a tobacco drying shed and how the tobacco leaves are rolled into cigars. It’s a hands-on tour and is provided in both Spanish and English. You can read all the details about how cigars are made in my guide here.

If you’re taking the hop on hop off tour, then you’ll also get the opportunity to stop at several Tobacco plantations too. Taking a Viñales Valley Tour from Havana? Be sure to book one – like this one – that includes a trip to a Tobacco plantation too.
90% of the tobacco grown at these plantations must by law be sold to the Cuban government. The remaining 10% is for the farmer to sell directly. So if you want to REALLY help the local community here, be sure to take one of the farmer’s deals and buy cigars directly from him. That money goes straight into his pocket and your stories when you get home will be so much the better for it. It may not have the fancy label and brand on it, but it’s the same tobacco for a fraction of the price.

Where are the Tobacco Plantations that you can visit in Viñales?
We’ve marked several of the Tobacco Plantations that can be visited in the Viñales area on our map of the Viñales area. Or take a look at this tour of the Vinales Valley that includes visiting a tobacco plantation here.
9. Make Cuban Cigars in Viñales
On your tour of the tobacco plantations in Viñales, you’ll likely be offered an opportunity to learn how to roll Cuban cigars. Take the opportunity, and learn all you can – this is a unique time and place and you won’t find anything like it in any other country in the world.
When you head back to Havana be sure to check out some Cigar and Rum experiences to expand on your newly found knowledge. There’s a Cigar Making Factory in Havana that’s well worth a visit and is one of the top things to do in Havana.
10. Visit the Viñales Caves
The Viñales Valley is famous not just for the rock formations above ground but those underground as well. There are several caves here that are open to visitors. The most popular is the Cueva del Indio (the Indian Cave) and the Palenque de Los Cimarrones, both of which you can reach on the hop on hop off bus. You can also reach these caves on this tour of Vinales.
Visit La Cueva del Indio in Viñales
The Cueva del Indio is just 10 minute’s drive from downtown Viñales and is likely to be the cave that you visit if you’re on a day trip from Havana. Visiting the Cueva Del Indio starts with a level 200-meter walk and then involves a short boat ride through the cave as you follow the 400-meter track of the underground San Vincente River. This cave was rediscovered in 1920 and was originally the home of the Guanajatabey Indians. Cave paintings remains, fossils, and relics of ancient times have been discovered here. You’ll find some bats and albino fish in the tunnels here. The Cueva Del Indio is open from 0900 until 1730. Try not to be put off by the very cheesy native Indian dance at the entrance to the cave. There is, of course, a gift shop at the end of the trip.
Visit Palenque de Los Cimarrones in Viñales
Where else but Cuba would you find a cave with a bar outside? This cave, the Palenque de Los Cimarrones is just a few hundred meters long. It gets its name from runaway slaves, the Cimarrones, who escaped a nearby sugar cane plantation and hid in the cave.
As you exit the cave, there’s a performance of the history of Cuba – fires, drums, dancing, and the story of the African slaves who escaped from the sugar plantations and mills and hid in the caves here. Cheesy, but fun. And worth a small tip.

There are occasionally – usually weekend – parties in the cave – for more parties in caves be sure to visit the Disco la Ayala in Trinidad – which comes complete with 5 dance floors and 3 bars! (Read about La Ayala and other things to do in Trinidad Cuba here)
If you’d like to visit all the caves in Vinales, then this tour by classic car is the perfect way to see them.
11. Go Caving at Santo Tomas in Viñales
The Gran Caverna de Santo Tomás is Cuba’s largest cave system. The Caverna de Santo Tomas is around 30 minutes drive from Viñales and you will want to visit it with a guide. Entrance to the Santo Tomas cave will cost a small amount and a guide for the 2-hour trek through the cave requires head torches and sensible footwear. It is not a difficult hike. A guide will cost around US$20
The entire cave system of Santo Tomas runs for 46 kilometers (28 miles) and there is also a small museum detailing the history of the use of this cave system.
12. Rent a Bike and Explore Viñales
Of anywhere in the main tourist areas of Cuba, the Viñales Valley is the best place to rent a bike and explore. The roads and pathways are quiet here. Bikes are plentiful and available pretty much everywhere and the landscape is also pretty flat – you are, after all, in the Viñales Valley. Check the bike before you rent it and make sure the brakes work. Ask in downtown Viñales or your Casa Particular owner for rentals, which should cost around US$8 for a half-day rental. Alternatively, join a bike tour of the Vinales Valley – details here.
13. Go Horse-Riding in Viñales
You’ll find friendly, easy-to-ride horses here in the Viñales Valley. Meandering through the valley on horseback is a great way to see the main attractions, or simply just to see a bit more of the valley. You can take tours of any length and they will cost around 20 US$ per hour. Book your Viñales Horse-riding experience online here (this 4-hour experience is just 40 US dollars) or with your Casa Particular or guide.

The group at Cuba Climbing is best placed for the most up-to-date information on where to climb, where to find guides, and how to hire equipment. You can also arrange a tour or a guide via your Casa Particular in Viñales.

For an adrenalin-packed adventure in Vinales head to El Fortin, where you’ll find the Vinales zip line park. There are four ziplines here. Guides at the park will cover the safety rules, and all equipment is provided. The longest zipline in Vinales is more than 400 meters (1312 feet) long and a full circuit of the zipline park in Vinales covers more than 1 kilometer and 8 different platforms. It’s a fabulous way to get an adrenalin buzz and also see the natural beauty of the El Fortin area. Come on down and take a look at the Vinales Zip Lines!
16. Take a Sunset Hike to the Valle del Silencio in Vinales
This hike starts in the afternoon and takes you deep into the Valle del Silencio, or “Valley of Silence”, which is part of the Viñales National Park. You’ll hike through tobacco and coffee plantations and see the glorious green fields around here as well as the natural caves and mogotes – or limestone karsts. You’ll arrive at sunset on a hilltop viewpoint for spectacular views. Join this group hiking tour in Vinales for a fabulous time.
17. Hike to Los Aquaticos Viñales
In 1943 a small community of local Cuban people was formed as a result of having no access to regular medicine and pharmaceuticals. Los Aquaticos used the healing power of water. There are directions in the Cuba Lonely Planet Guide as to how to hike to Los Aquaticos. There are no signs on the route, but lots of spots along the way to ask for directions. The blue house at the halfway point on the mountain is your destination where the owners will happily talk to you about the curing powers of the water. Alternatively, you can take this incredible guided sunrise hike to Los Acuaticos.
18. Visit the Jardin de Caridad Botanic Garden in Viñales
The Jardin de Caridad, Viñales is a mother and daughter run private operation. Viñales’ Botanical Gardens offer a free guided tour (although tips are expected). You’ll find it located in a casa particular and with an onsite restaurant. This isn’t a formal botanical garden, more the personal garden of local Cubanos, but you’ll find a mix of medicinal plants, flowers, and ornamental displays. It’s open from 0800 until 1700 and is found around the corner on the opposite side of the Cupet petrol/gas station. You’ll visit the botanical gardens in Vinales on this FREE walking tour of Vinales.
19. Take a Cooking Class in Viñales
Learning to cook in Cuba is an awesome way to understand more about the culture and challenges of Cuban society. While there are many Cuban cooking classes you can take in Havana (check out details here), the best way to take a cooking class in Viñales is to ask at your Casa Particular.
20. Head to the Beach at Cayo Jutias from Vinales
This has got to be one of the most beautiful beaches in Cuba. And it’s just 90 minute’s drive from Vinales. Take a day trip from Vinales to Cayo Jutias, where the beach is tranquil and gorgeous and makes up the famous archipelago of Los Colorados, where the local specialty is lobster. Bring your own snorkeling mask and discover the magnificent giant starfish that live here on the seabed. Cayo Jutias is just 90 minutes from Vinales, and if you have a rental car you can get here easily, alternatively ask at your casa particular, or check out this Cayo Jutias transfer service, which gives you several hours of free time (you can negotiate for longer) at the beach for a fabulous beach day trip from Vinales.
21. Visit the Casa de Cultura in Viñales and take a Dance Lesson
Music brings communities together in Cuba like nothing else and if you’re staying over in Viñales for a night or longer, it’s the Casa de Cultura that you’ll want to head to on an evening. The Viñales main town square hosts the Centro Cultural Polo Montanez where you’ll find cocktails and salsa dancing lessons to live music. Sure the locals might have more rhythm and experience than you, but it’s an awesome opportunity to learn to dance. Music and dancing kick off around 2100.
22. Stay at a Casa Particular in Viñales
The best type of accommodation to stay in while you’re visiting Cuba is a casa particular. These homestay options let you stay with a local Cuban family in private rooms and with private bathrooms. They’re a great way to give to the local community and also to experience a more Cuban experience. Your host will offer additional services, such as breakfast, and sometimes dinner, and will be able to help with arranging transport and tours of the area if you haven’t already booked.
