From Habana, take a "transfer" from any large hotel , you get on a nice small, modern ,
chineese Yutong bus.
It will be the same price as Viazul but it is much easier and it will be part of a tour with a local
guide; with stops in a tobacco farm and a rhum factory.

We decided to visit Vinales in a day, so we got a day trip.
We bought the trip at hotel Habana Libre agency cubanacan, it costed us 55 cuc lunch included.
We left at 8 am and got back about 7 pm, you can choose an elgish speaking guide or a spanish speacking one and as far as we could see groups were not so numerous.

Whether you’re traveling on your own or with friends, if your next destination is Trinidad… you’ll always find a taxi to get you there for pretty much the same money the bus costs.
Most of the time, the same people from the casas will arrange your trip with a taxi driver. The whole trip costs 160 CUC, but if you guys are four or if you (or someone) get another couple of travelers… then it’s 40 bucks each, while the bus charges 37 CUC and you’ll have to transfer in Havana.

We decided to hire a car to move round Pinar del Rio and so drove from Havana to Vinales. Signage is almost non-existent, but luckily there are few roads to confuse the route.

The best way to explore the outskirts of Viñales and its near surroundings is to rent a motorcycle.
I rented a 50cc Suzuki RMX (top speed around 70 km/h and that's sufficient).
The price for the motorcycle was 20 dollar/day, gasoline excluded.
There are two kind of gasoline on Kuba;
Regular at 0,75 dollar/litre and Especial at 0,90 dollar/litre...
The bike and motorcycle renter is located on Salvador Cisneros.
Warning; There are no helmets available so drive carefully!

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.
Vinales is a small town to the west of Havana in the tobacco and fruit growing region of Pinar del Rio. Lying in the valley of the Sierra de los Organos, the surrounding landscape is distinctive and...
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.
Viñales is a very charming little village nestled amoungst mogotes: large rounded limestone formations and large tobacco farms. The main draw here seems to be the limestone caves, the cigar factories...
