Viñales Valley

Viñales Valley (Spanish: Valle de Viñales) is a karstic depression in Pinar del Rio province. The valley has an area of 132 km2 (51 sq mi) and is located in the Sierra de los Organos, just north of the town of Viñales.
Tobacco and other crops are cultivated on the bottom of the valley, mostly by traditional agriculture techniques. Many caves dot the surrounding hillfaces (Cueva del Indio, Cueva de José Miguel).
The conspicuous cliffs rising like islands from the bottom of the valley are called mogotes.
