Vi\u00f1ales Valley, in the western province of <\/span>Pinar del R\u00edo<\/span><\/a>, is rightfully one of the most famous places in Cuba. Its natural beauty, crowned by its unmistakable mogotes, and its picturesque town have won distinctions such as Protected Area, National Park and World Heritage Cultural Landscape.<\/span><\/p>\n

Its fame has also been accompanied by an increase in visitors, who come from all parts of the world eager to appreciate its beauty and exchange with its residents. More than half a million people travel there every year, following the recommendations of friends, family or publications such as The New York Times<\/em> and Business Insider<\/em>, which have recommended it among the best tourist destinations.<\/span><\/p>\n
