Full Description ? The adventure begins in the early hours as we meet at the Plaza de Viñales. Under the starlit sky, we start our ascent toward the hillside of the mountain where the community of Los Acuáticos resides. This community is famous for its members' historic belief in the healing powers of water, and your guide will share their fascinating history as you walk through the quiet landscape.

As we reach the panoramic viewpoint, we will wait for the sun to break over the horizon. You will watch in awe as the valley transforms from deep blue to vibrant greens and oranges, with the mist swirling around the mountain peaks below you. This is the most tranquil time of day, offering a side of Viñales that most tourists never see.
