Vacations To Cabo San Lucas

Few scenes in Cuba exhibit as much natural beauty as Pinar del Rio. Blessed by the nature, this province stores two of the six World Reservations of the Biosphere in the Island.

The appeal of its flora and fauna add up to the pleasant appearance of the district, and for sure is the land of the most excellent tobacco in the Planet. Pinar del Rio is a targeted holiday destination in Cuba for those looking for direct contact with Mother Nature.

Sited in the Viales Valley, amid its startling mountain range, is the Camping site Dos Hermanas (Two Sisters) that lets you enjoy a stunning landscape. You may choose among a number of activities like climbing, horse back riding, trailing, cave exploring, bicycle riding and so many other options while in your holidays in Pinar del Rio.

This land is an important artists’ cradle. Illustrious son of this county was Cirilo Villaverde, author of the most important Cuban novel in the XIX century, “Cecilia Valdes”, considered one of the great Cuban writers of all times. The music and the plastic arts, on the other hand, have big exponents like the composer Pedro Rush; author of the well-known piece “Nosotros” and the contemporary painter Pedro Pablo Oliva.

The most popular social gathering in the zone is the Guateque. It is a party where people recite poetry, sing songs and enjoy a good typical Cuban food while flavoring the best of the Cuban rums.

If you are thinking that while in your holidays in Cuba a visit to Pinar del Rio is a must, then you can take a bus or a taxi from Havana to this area. It is located at about 160 kms far from Havana and it only takes about 2 hours drive along the highway. It is not possible to fly directly to Pinar del Rio as there are no airports in this province. If you have a boat then you can arrive to the Marinas in Maria La Gorda and Cayo Levisa.

The most well-known and I would also state most attractive part of Pinar del Rio is Viales Valley. This location has the most wonderful mountain ranges and most picturesque valleys in Cuba. There is not much in terms of accommodation facilities in the vicinity just for not to damage the natural environment. To mention the best I have to include Los Jasmines Hotel, La Ermita and Rancho San Vicente Cottages.

As for city environment and nature, Pinar del Rio has comfortable lodgings. The specialized tourism, on the other hand, has suitable conditions for its realization that include all the stay facilities. Do not have a place to doubt, during your holidays in Cuba, you should spend some time in this incredible province, the land of the best tobacco in the world.
