Yo, it\u2019s fine. Chill. You can just buy your visa at the airport for $50, check either \u201cEducation\u201d or \u201cSupport of the Cuban People\u201d as your reason for visiting and vamos. No one is going to question you. The third time I went, I was on the first ever direct flight from Cuba to the United States and customs actually cheered as we walked through the gates. The only questions they asked me were: \u201cWhat was it like? Did you like it? Can I see what the passport stamp looks like?\u201d They\u2019re totally cool.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-12712 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/wearetravelgirls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/vinales-valley-Vinales-774x581.jpg\" alt=\"Vinales: Cuba's Most Underrated City\" width=\"774\" height=\"581\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wearetravelgirls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/vinales-valley-Vinales-774x581.jpg 774w, https:\/\/wearetravelgirls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/vinales-valley-Vinales-120x90.jpg 120w, https:\/\/wearetravelgirls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/vinales-valley-Vinales-500x375.jpg 500w, https:\/\/wearetravelgirls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/vinales-valley-Vinales-1080x810.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/wearetravelgirls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/vinales-valley-Vinales.jpg 1584w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 774px) 100vw, 774px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>To answer your second immediate question: but will you be able to take a picture with a classic car for The Gram, though? OF COURSE. Actually here, you don\u2019t even have to rent one. They\u2019d love to let you pose in front of their cars that they are so proud of (or for you to take their picture in front of their cars). Cuba has actually been open to receiving imports of new cars for a while. The reason not many people have them is because it\u2019s so expensive. When the average Cuban makes $25\/month, it\u2019s not so easy to buy a new car. The older cars have been passed down from generation to generation and makes for a lucrative business for those who have one.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-12714 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/wearetravelgirls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/cuba-old-car-2-774x514.jpg\" alt=\"Vinales: Cuba's Most Underrated City\" width=\"805\" height=\"535\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wearetravelgirls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/cuba-old-car-2-774x514.jpg 774w, https:\/\/wearetravelgirls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/cuba-old-car-2-120x80.jpg 120w, https:\/\/wearetravelgirls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/cuba-old-car-2-500x332.jpg 500w, https:\/\/wearetravelgirls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/cuba-old-car-2-1080x718.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/wearetravelgirls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/cuba-old-car-2.jpg 1800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 805px) 100vw, 805px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>So yes, you can do all of those things and more in Vi\u00f1ales. Which brings me to my next point. The top 3 must-dos in Vi\u00f1ales\u00a0are: the Vinales Valley, Palenque, and Cayo Jutias. While there are many other things to do in Vi\u00f1ales, these are my favorites and I do them every time I go.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-12715 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/wearetravelgirls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/horse-tour-Vinales-774x581.jpg\" alt=\"Vinales: Cuba's Most Underrated City\" width=\"774\" height=\"581\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wearetravelgirls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/horse-tour-Vinales-774x581.jpg 774w, https:\/\/wearetravelgirls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/horse-tour-Vinales-120x90.jpg 120w, https:\/\/wearetravelgirls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/horse-tour-Vinales-500x376.jpg 500w, https:\/\/wearetravelgirls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/horse-tour-Vinales.jpg 864w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 774px) 100vw, 774px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tripadvisor.co.uk\/Attraction_Review-g616288-d207806-Reviews-Valle_de_Vinales-Vinales_Pinar_del_Rio_Province_Cuba.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">The Vinales Valley<\/a>, also referred to as The Horse Tour or Tur de Caballos, is just like it sounds, a tour through the valley of Vinales on horseback. However, they do have walking and bicycle options for children, or if you\u2019re like my aunt and have a bad back and all around do not f with horses. You\u2019ll learn the process of growing, drying, and rolling, and get to smoke one yourself. These cigars are pesticide and herbicide-free, completely organic grown straight from the plantation you\u2019re standing on.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-12717 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/wearetravelgirls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/horse-back-tour-Vinales-774x581.jpg\" alt=\"Vinales: Cuba's Most Underrated City\" width=\"774\" height=\"581\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wearetravelgirls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/horse-back-tour-Vinales-774x581.jpg 774w, https:\/\/wearetravelgirls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/horse-back-tour-Vinales-120x90.jpg 120w, https:\/\/wearetravelgirls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/horse-back-tour-Vinales-500x376.jpg 500w, https:\/\/wearetravelgirls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/horse-back-tour-Vinales.jpg 792w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 774px) 100vw, 774px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>My dad, a self-proclaimed cigar connoisseur said he enjoyed these cigars more than the famous Cohibas (which by the way, don\u2019t ever buy from someone off the streets, they are definitely fake). With a cigar in your mouth, you\u2019ll hop back on the horses and visit the coffee plantation, the cave, and a lake. I was pretty drained from the Cuban summer sun and maybe slightly hung over from doing Palenque the night before, so after the cigar, I was pretty much out. But the views of the valley were totally worth it.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-12716 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/wearetravelgirls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/tobacco-field-vinales-774x581.jpg\" alt=\"Vinales: Cuba's Most Underrated City\" width=\"774\" height=\"581\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wearetravelgirls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/tobacco-field-vinales-774x581.jpg 774w, https:\/\/wearetravelgirls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/tobacco-field-vinales-120x90.jpg 120w, https:\/\/wearetravelgirls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/tobacco-field-vinales-500x375.jpg 500w, https:\/\/wearetravelgirls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/tobacco-field-vinales-1080x811.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 774px) 100vw, 774px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019d like to get a Grade A Primo Location shot, visit Hotel Los Jazmines, take a dip in the swimming pool and have a full on shameless photo shoot overlooking the valley (I may or may not have done this).

Palenque is also known as The Cave Party and only happens on a Friday or Saturday. The party starts off with a comedy show and where up and coming \u201cartists\u201d can exhibit their dancing and singing skills. To me it just looked like some choreographed karaoke. But never mind that. Make sure you stay long enough because you might think to yourself, \u201cThis is weird,\u201d and want to leave. NO. STOP.
