Swimming at a Hotel and you stay in a guesthouse

2.5 out of 5 starsHelpfulness

Alain_Smeets 286 reviews

Book a room at the Cuban guesthouses and if you want to have a swim, just take an half hour walk up to Los Herminez (hotel) and pay 1 us$ to have a nice swim in their swimming pool. Maybe you can stay and watch the sunset over the Morgotes before going back to your guesthouse and into the local pubs.

Banana trees

I've seen many banana plantations in Cuba and there were banana trees in the Vinales valley as well. I love them, they are so exotic.

Green coconuts

Coconuts trees can also be seen in the little gardens of the Vinales valley: these huge young coconuts were growing on a really small tree.

Coffee

Coffee is grown in the Vinales valley and we saw some plants with green beans on the hike. Coming from Hungary, it was an experience.

A nature trip

 At the beginning we thought to spend a few days in Vinales but once in Cuba, we soon realised that a day trip was enough for what we were interested in.

 I took a day trip from Havana to this famous valley with unusual conical hills. It was definitely worth the 2-hour drive! The area was covered with tobacco fields, where Cuba's finest are grown here.
