CUBAN COUNTRYSIDE Valle de Vinales Our journey from Havana to Vinales took about two and a half hours. We shared a taxi called Collectivos, an eight seat truck which cost us 20 dollars each. We had to wait about 20 minutes for others going to the same destination to fill the truck. Don’t be surprised if your taxi driver pulls to the side of the road to chat with friends and family. Our driver waived at pretty much everyone and even stopped a few times pulled over for a quick conversation. It didn’t bother us, as he delightfully entertained us, laughing and singing our way Vinales. Vinales is a beautiful, lush valley about 26 kilometres north of the city of Pinar del Río. It is said to be Fidel Castro’s favorite place in Cuba. No wonder, with its dramatic limestone, mountains called mogotes “haystacks”. It was ideal for photographing in the morning when a soft mist looms over the rounded peaks, or late afternoon when the sun bathes farm fields and orchards in golden light. Van Gogh would have been right at home here. 178 WDT MAGAZINE SPRING 2017
