Day 3
7:30 am Depart to Viñales Valley: This is the
most renowned valley of Cuba. It is situated between
the limestone rock hills of the Sierra de los Órganos
in the province of Pinar del Río. The major attractions
in the valley are the cone-shaped raised mogotes - which
are a type of butte - with their exceptional landscapes.
The mogotes are inhabited by several plant species such
as palm trees and the endemic species of ceibón
(Bombax emarginatum), the caiman oak (Tabebuia chalcicola),
the palmita de sierra (Thrinax microcarpa, T. drudei)
and the cork palm (Microcycas calocoma). Nowadays this
last is considered a fossil. These limestone mogotes
look like castle ruins with their inaccessible walls
that are almost vertical and round-topped. The hard,
dark limestone formations in this area are among the
oldest geological formations in Cuba. In the southern
zone rise slate round-topped hills. It is here that
one of the most notable karst terrains in the world
exists, with underground rivers hidden in caverns. The
valley system includes the San Vicente Valley, Luis
Lazo Valley, Guasasa Valley, Ruiseñor Valley,
Mal Paso Valley, Ancón Valley, and the Hoyo Caliente
or Hot Hole (for want of a better term). All of them
are very accessible to visitors. Other important mogotes
are the Cerros de Guane, Punta de la Sierra, Sumidero,
Resolladero, Quemado, Celador, El Infierno (The Hell),
Galeras, Ancón, Jagua Vieja and San Andrés.
For those visitors that enjoy bird watching, a large
number of endemic bird species inhabit this area.
