Pictures from a recent trip to Viñales, Cuba.
January 2023

| Arrival in La havana |

| Sight of old cars in la vieja habana |
So the capital city is nice, but I was there to climb. So I took a cab to viñales. You can get cabs from 50 USD to 100 USD for Viñales.
Arrival in the climbing town of viñales.

Vinales is where most of the Rock-climbing happens in Cuba. There is only one Guidebook for Vinales, it's the 2009 edition. It was impossible to get the book once in Vinales. I reccomend asking around for a guidebook before leaving. Pdf versions also exist.

On one of my days off, I rented a bike and went looking for beehives. As a beekeeper back home it was interesting to look at these cuban bees.
On another of the off days we ent to the beach in Cayo Jutias
The quality of the rock was really good.
Looking forward to doing it again sometime.
