Perhaps the worst tourist attraction in Cuba. In 1961 Fidel Castro visited the beautiful "valley of the two sisters (Valley de Dos Hermanas). He commissioned a cliff to be painted with snails, dinosaurs, and a family of cavepersons, in garish colors! There is a restaurant, bar, and gift shop. The food in the restaurant is reputed to be excellent and the live music is good, and locals say that the piña colada in the bar is the best in Viñales. Also there is horseback riding. So consider visiting the mural and doing something other than looking at the mural. You do not have to pay the entrance fee to see the painted mountain cliff, its visible from the road.
likely the same as Cueva del Palmarito
The cave is only accessible through a trail. It is at the edge of walking distance from Viñales and most visitors come here by bike or horse. You’ll be walked in by a guide until you reach a pool after about 200 m. It’s about 30-m long, you can go swimming inside and the cool water will be a welcome refresh from the hot air outside. The depth of the water varies and there’s rocks reaching up every now and then. The guide has a small light, otherwise the cave is completely dark.
