The Viñales National Park is located in the northwest Pinar del Río Province. The Sierra de los Órganos mountain range extends throughout the park, with dramatic formations known as "mogotes", tobacco plantations, tobacco drying houses and typical houses of the farmers. The mogotes – large, rounded impressive rock outcroppings – are all that’s left of a limestone plateau that existed here 160 million years ago. They rise up from the flat plain sometimes at nearly 90 degree angles.
This area contains the largest and most beautiful cave systems of Latin America and the flora and fauna is very unique. Other attractions include: Indian Cave, the Ruiseñor Valley, Palenque de los Cimarrones, Cave of Santo Tomás, Majagua Canteras and Palmarito Cave System, San Vicente Valley and the town of Viñales.
Viñales is said to be Fidel Castro's favorite place in Cuba.
The Viñales Valley was declared by UNESCO as a World Heritage site in 1999.
