Home to the second-largest caving network in the Americas offers those in search of more adventures the opportunity to find them. For others and indeed most, to simply wander around the green tobacco fields is more than enough. Seeing the process of how the local women prepare the leaves which shall soon be made into the famous Cuban cigars, perhaps time to stock up your supply?
