Perched over part of the Sierra
de los Organos in the north-central Province of Pinar del Rio,
in western Cuba, on the rounded tops mountains, a spectacular
view stretches far away in the distance. A landscape of 132
square kilometers is sheltered with green pastures and luxuriant
vegetation of a rare beauty. The pines, the numerous palm trees,
and the shrubs from the Jurassic era rustle reassuringly while
giving much shade to the people who want to go camping or
picnicking. Here and there, the landforms and limestone caves
remind us of the history of this blessed land. Scattered in this
picturesque scenery are red roofed tops of the peasant’s houses
with their smokes showing the presence of man. The rounded top
mountain the ‘mojotes’ and knolls looms over the Vinales Valley,
they stand as the friendly guardians of the valley. At night,
the shimmering lights of the human habitations are like the
stars guiding the way of the lost stroller. The passerine in
the pine trees singing completes this harmonious picture of
stillness in the Vinales valley. An impressive peacefulness
fills the heart of every one who admires this incredible view
over the Vinales Valley. |
