Cuba
Rancho Querete
With an exuberant nature, nuanced by the fresh waters of the Malaffo River, just three kilometers east of the town of Yaguajay, in the northern center of the province of Sancti Spíritus is located this natural paradise with a dense vegetation and rivers of crystal clear water.
Viñales:
Located in the province of Pinar del Río, the Viñales Valley is one of the most visited natural areas of Cuba and the most impressive in my personal opinion.
In 1999 it was listed as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO
The Valley of Viñales is formed by rounded mountains called mogotes, with common characteristic, in addition to the form, they have the height, hovering around 25 meters. In addition to mogotes, in the Valley of Viñales there are numerous caves and caverns; these were formed by the continuous passage of underground rivers.
The biggest attraction of the Viñales Valley are the mogotes, surrounded by an intense green color, unique to the Caribbean, and palm trees that rise up to the sky. But besides the mountains, there are the caves; the largest of them is the Great Cave of Santo Tomás. With its more than 40 kilometers of extension, it is the largest and most important cave system in Cuba; declared a National Monument. Another of the most interesting is the Indian´s Cave , through which two underground rivers run, so the visit is made in boats that navigate through them.
Another point of interest is the Mural of Prehistory. It is a huge painting 120 meters long by 80 wide, made directly on the rock.
This impressive work was painted by a Cuban muralist, made entirely by brush, it took him more than five years to finish it.
