Have you been to Viñales? This stunning region was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1999. On some of our trips, we've met local to***co farmers who guide us through the Viñales Valley, sharing generations of knowledge about cigar-making—including the tradition of sealing cigar leaves with honey.
