Astonishing Geological Treasures of Cuba.

By Jose Garces


Looking to book your Cuba holidays? Viales Valley is one of the most known and attractive areas of Cuba among holiday makers. It offers an outstanding panorama featured by the mixtures of spectacular natural beauty, the preservation of the environment, the harmonic man's action in the fruit growing, fundamentally the tobacco industry, whose traditional growing and production methods earned an international recognition as one of the best quality in the world. This place allows the visitors to give free rein to their imagination.

There are many attractions in Viales Valley but today I would like to write about La Cueva del Indio. This is a immense cave, located under sea level, is visited in two stages: the first part of the visit is done by foot along its narrow passages and halls and the second part is by boat, a ride that will take you to the other end of the cave.

The silhouettes of its stalactites and stalagmites surprise the onlooker. Just at the entry of the cavern you will be able to see some of our endemic species like The Polymita Picta (a small snail with a multicolored pattern on its shell).

In the boat, a guide takes you to see the cave and at the same time he shows you the rock formations that exist in the cave and which have names due to the shapes they have. You may find a head of snake in the rock and you may wonder about nature.

The river inside the cavern is available for tourists for about 500 meters. Although the river is a lot longer, for safety reasons is not navigable along its entire course. The whole cavern has not being completely explored because there are some areas that are completely under water.

The ride itself is amazing but you get even more excited when you reach the end of the ride. You get to a small jungle where there is a small waterfall and it looks like the boat is going to fall over. Of course this is just a practical joke that the boat drivers like to play on you. The safety measure is always in place to make sure everything goes smoothly on this excursion.

While in Viales having fun in your holidays, you must come here and enjoy this trip. This cave will have you breathless for sure. This is one of the many treasures that Cuba holds for you. Do not miss this chance.
