Pinar del Rio is the land of the best tobacco in the world; it is also a favorite destination for visitors interested in nature tourism.

The Viñales Valley, whose origin dates back to more than 300 million years ago, declared "Cultural Landscape of the Mankind" is a must to visit for those interested in nature tourism. The National Parks: “Sierra del Rosario” and “Guanahacabibes” considered as Biosphere Reserve are blessed with an extraordinary endemic flora and fauna, they make up the perfect atmosphere for the enjoyment of the ecotourism lovers.

The Viñales Valley has numerous caverns, among which the Cueva del Indio - crossed by the San Vicente River -, the Cueva de San Miguel and the Cueva de Santo Tomás stand out. The latter has been classified among the largest caverns in Latin America, with more than 45 kilometers of galleries.

Covering an area of 132 square kilometers, the Viñales Valley is also the most outstanding exponent of a chalky valley in the Antilles, and is surrounded by hills with round tops and vertical slopes, known as "Mogotes".

It is in one of these peculiar hills, known as "Dos Hermanas" (Two Sisters), where visitors can enjoy one of the world's biggest outdoors natural paintings, the so-called Mural of Prehistory. The Mural of Prehistory, which is 120 meters high and 180 meter wide, was painted on the slope of the hill. It is a singular representation of the biological evolution of the Sierra de los Organos, also in the western province of Pinar del Río.
