The Viñales Valley is a valley in the province of Pinar del Río, in the western sector of Cuba. It is located in the Sierra de los Órganos, in the westernmost part of the Guaniguanico Mountain Range. The area that includes the valley and a large part of the mountain range that surrounds it was designated a national park of Cuba in 1999 and in December of that same year it was declared a Natural Heritage of Humanity by UNESCO. The valley is located in the municipality of Viñales, in the province of Pinar del Río, specifically in the center of the municipality, located 178 km from Havana and 25 km from the city of Pinar del Río. There are mountainous formations, unique on the island, called mogotes. Mogotes are geomorphological formations that can be very high. The mogotes are similar to others in China and the Malay Peninsula. The flora presents an atypical evolution, very varied in terms of species with characteristics of relics of the past. A differentiation is observed between the plants that settle on limestone soils and those that do so on shale and slate.
