840 CU - Viñales Valley (1999)

Brief Description

"The Viñales valley is encircled by mountains and its landscape is interspersed with dramatic rocky outcrops. Traditional techniques are still in use for agricultural production, particularly of tobacco. The quality of this cultural landscape is enhanced by the vernacular architecture of its farms and villages, where a rich multi-ethnic society survives, illustrating the cultural development of the islands of the Caribbean, and of Cuba."

比尼亚莱斯山谷

"比尼亚莱斯山谷群山环绕，山谷风景与裸露的岩石交相辉映。农业生产，尤其是烟草种植业中，仍然在采用传统技术。农场和村庄的当地建筑大大提升了这一文化景观的内涵，一个富裕的多民族社会在此繁衍，诠释了加勒比海岛屿和古巴的文化发展。"
