When we were in the Valle del Silencio in Viñales we went on a horse back excursion to visit the tabacco plantations and the caves inside the “Mogotes” mountains.

Our guide was called Jose and it was just 4 of us on the ride, Jose, Mama, Estelle & I.

My horse was called Menique, which means little “pinky” finger, he was a really good horse and he did everything i told him to. He did pee a lot though !

The excursion was 5 hours so I think I was probably in the saddle for about 3.5 hours. I LOVED it, I didnt feel tired or have any pain until the last 10 minutes but when I went to bed I felt like my back and my butt were broken, Mama gave me a paracetamol and the next day I was perfect !

I cant wait to go horse-back riding again !

Cost: $25 CUC/€ each for 5 hour excursion.
