Early in the afternoon, we started a short hike at the foot of a mogote with the aim of finding a nice sport to spend the night in a tent. We started a short climb that lasted no more than an hour before we came face to face with a cute little wooden house, which offered a panoramic view of the entire Viñales valley. It was the first house in a small village on the heights called "Los Acuaticos".

A whole barnyard surrounded the house. Roosters and hens pecked at seeds, a goat grazed the grass, a pig sniffed at our feet, a cat meowed behind the wooden door, and a skinny dog seemed to be guarding the house. We began to wonder if someone lived here and took care of these animals. Later that afternoon, the owner finally arrived on his horse, having worked in his tobacco fields during the day.

It was a farmer of about fifty years old who lived there, with only his animals for company. He made us taste a few glasses of wine and homemade rum before taking us to a meadow where he must have fed his cows. It was there that we discovered this splendid spot which offered a perfectly clear view of the valley. We then decided to set up our tent on this meadow which seemed perfect to admire the sunrise the next morning.
