Cueva del Silencio Hike

At the scheduled time, we'll meet in front of the Church of Viñales. From there, we'll set off on a hiking route along the Palmarito trail through the Viñales Valley.

We will venture into the valley, observing the mogotes, unique rock formations rising from the fields. As we walk through lush landscapes, we'll see extensive tobacco and coffee plantations. A stop will be made here to witness the drying of tobacco leaves, learn about the cigar-making process, and try an authentic Cuban cigar.

Next, we will arrive at the Cueva del Silencio, or "Cave of Silence". Inside the dark cave, we will descend to a depth of almost 328 feet (100 metres) to reach a lagoon submerged between the rock walls.

We will spend half an hour exploring the cave before returning to daylight and heading to a nearby lake for a dip. You will have free time to admire the scenery and eat something.

Our hike will conclude as we return to the starting point and say our goodbyes after a 5-hour adventure.
