Day 2-3
Mountain ranges, valleys, forests and waterfalls The Pinar del Río region offers numerous scenic highlights. Mountain ranges and narrow valleys, crisscrossed by streams and rivers with waterfalls, amidst the lush greenery of the forests.
After breakfast, you will begin your 6-hour horseback ride through the region. Passing a great number of species of trees, shrubs, wild orchids and ferns, you will enjoy the clear air and the fragrance of the plants. The royal palm, a symbol of Cuba, rises again and again along the way and the bohios of the country people, wooden huts with roofs made of palm fronds, blend harmoniously into the landscape.

Day 4
Exploring Finca GuabinaToday you can recover from the - partly exhausting - excursions of the last days and explore the finca after breakfast. Perhaps you will also get the opportunity to lend a hand with the activities on the finca. For the more adventurous, a day trip to the Viñales valley is an option. The attraction in the valley are the up to 400m high Mogotes, cone rocks made of limestone. Framed by fields, tobacco plantations and red clay soil, they create a unique contrast to the blue of the sky. Visit the Cueva del Indio, a stalactite cave in a mogote with an underground river course where you can return to the open air in boats, and the Mural de la Prehistoria, a huge painting on a rock wall with prehistoric motifs
