As a province of exuberant and exotic natural landscapes, Pinar del Río treasures two of the six World Reserves of the Biosphere existing on the Island and an unique scenario: Viñales Valley, Cultural Landscape and World Heritage (UNESCO). A rich and valuable flora and fauna constitutes a fundamental attraction in a destination that is also outstanding for being the land of the best tobacco in the world. Pinar del Río is the birthplace of great artists. Cirilo Villaverde was born here, the author of the most important Cuban novel from the19th century, Cecilia Valdés as well as composer Pedro Junco, the author of the wellknown musical song Nosotros. From the plastic art world, contemporary creator Pedro Pablo Oliva also comes from this land, whose most frequent celebration is the guateque, a campesino celebration that is always carried out around a typical Cuban meal: roast pork, congrí, tostones, yucca with mojo (Cuban spicy sauce) and other vegetables and also with drinks such as the Guayabita del Pinar, typical of the area. Other names such as the musician Miguelito Cuní and the singer of the mountain, Polo Montañez, also distinguish the cultural universe of the province.
