Viñales Valley, Cuba

View from the top of Los Aquaticos.  Viñales is a town among bucolic fields and valleys set among unique and dramatic limestone rock outcrops in western Cuba.  Many foreigners come here on their circuits of Cuba to explore caves, learn about tobacco production and relax amidst the idyllic scenery.  It is a nice escape from Havana.

Horse I rode for a guided tour in one of the valleys of Viñales.

This was a common sign in Cuba, reading "Socialism or Death."
