The unique limestone terrain of the Viñales Valley has created countless prehistoric caves in the valley, along with hills rising from the ground. Paired with the lush, primitive palm forests, this paints a mysterious and wild scene of both nature and culture, making it a prime destination for eco-tourism. Tens of thousands of visitors come here every year.
