We’re not your average tour operator. We’re a family native to Viñales (well, apart from Cassie, our founder & token Brit).
With years of combined experience working in tourism in Cuba, as well as degrees in foreign languages, agronomy, farming and – of course – expertise in tobacco and ‘how-to-be-a-cowboy’, we finally decided to pull together to offer you something unique.
In 2017, throwing caution to the wind after 10 years living, studying, and working in London, Cassie packed it all in to set off for some adventures. She didn’t get much further than Cuba, and has been there ever since. Choosing a quiet life in the countryside of Cuba, away from other expats in Havana, she has been able to fully embrace and experience life living on this barmy & complex island. Learning how to navigate the local culture, with all of it’s highs and lows, hasn’t been a walk in the park – but, with hard work, patience and perseverance, she is now perfectly placed to pass on her knowledge and expertise of the island.
This is our family’s tobacco farm. This is where the magic happens. Not only do we invite visitors in from far and wide to learn about the world-class cigar making process, but we’ll enjoy a swig or two or homemade rum as well.
Lunch is cooked here using traditional methods as electricity is no where to be seen. After the seasonal farm-to-table food has been devoured, wash it down with a fresh cafecito and take in the views with the cowboys.
We spend many of our days here. It’s a base for the farmers working in the fields. It’s a haven for intrigued visitors to get a glimpse into the rawness of Cuba. It’s a breath of fresh air after hectic Havana.
