Pinar del Ro: A Jewel Of Nature In Cuba.

Not many locations in Cuba display as much natural magnificence as Pinar del Rio. Set apart by the nature, this region hosts two of the six World Reservations of the Biosphere in the Cuba.

The charm of its flora and fauna constitutes the fundamental attractiveness of the county and of course is the land of the best tobacco in the world. Pinar del Rio constitutes a destination of excellent interest for those who find in the contact with the nature a good reason to travel.

Near to the city and in traffic to the Viales Valley, the Aguas Claras Villa stands out for its distinctive features and it is lifted in the lands of an old and beautiful property in the tropical countryside.

It is not just for its natural attributes that this province is so attractive, this piece of land is also the crib of many famous exponents of the Cuban art. Renowned novelists, music composers and singers, painters and poets have all come from Pinar del Rio. Just to mention few we have to include XIX novelist Cirilo Villaverde, Pedro Plablo Oliva and singer Polo Montaez

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 want to visit Pinar del Rio in your holidays in Cuba, you can fly to Havana and then take a transfer to this area. It is located at about 160 kms far from Havana and it takes about 2 hours by road. There are no international or domestic airports in this province so flying directly is not an option. There is although the chance to arrive by boat to the Marinas located in Cayo Levisa and Maria La Gorda.

To know the land of the valleys and mogotes there is anything better than the trips and visits to its more famous scenery: the Valley of Viales declared Cultural Landscape of the Humanity (UNESCO); the tourist complex The Terraces, example of tourist community of sustainable development; Soroa, with its orquideario and its beautiful waterfall; and the ruins of French coffee plantations of the XIX century, among others.

I will always recommend a visit to Pinar del Rio province, especially if you are the kind of tourist that likes to get to know the real country. I would say that including in your holidays to Cuba a stay in this territory will definitely be the high light of your holiday experience in Cuba.
