RURAL TOURISM
Rural
tourism is an incipient modality in Cuba, nevertheless we have
several sites. Its practicing brings you to visit peasants zones,
knowing the traditional crops and the local habits and in a particular
way the culture of these sites. The tourist enjoys a beautiful
landscape where the human and the nature shake hands. That is
,practicing the UNESCO'S idea (and promoted by them)of the "cultural
landscape".
Some
new products and proposals of the Cuban tourism are according
to this modality and some of them, to accentuate that vacation
have been baptized with the generic name of "fincas".
Finca
Campesina San Vicente.
Hidden among the tendrils near to Viñales in Pinar del
Rio is a truly zone "finca" with all its traditions,
without the typical "done for tourist" and if you prefer,
the visitors can stay and sleep in the very "Bohío"
of the "finca" and in this case, at evening you'll hear
the lonely song of the Cuban "solitaire", an endemic
bird of this country, there are lots of them here, a real gift
for the spirit.
Villa
Finca de Don Pedro.
A good place to rest in a comfortable bungalow-bohío located
in the Jagüey Grande outskirts at the southern of Matanzas.
The bird-watchers that visit Zapata use to lodge here.
Hacienda
La Vega. Located in the middle way between Cienfuegos
and Trinidad, and between the sea and the mountain, is the perfect
site for rural tourism, with riding horses offers or on foot,
through the zone, you can also participate in the cows manual
milking al the rustic and original "Ranchón",
taste fresh cheese, natural zone fruits and take a bath at the
end in a hidden and "private" beach.
Sendero
Yaguanabo Arriba. A path by the southern part of Escambray
Cienfueguero. You can go in an appropriated car, or ridding a
horse, on mountain-bike, or the residents can go on foot. This
part leads to the Yaguanabo Arriba town, a traditional and fraternal
community that you'll like a lot.
