Cueva del Indio - 036v01
Cueva del Indio (The Indian Cave) lies 8 km north of Viñales in the province of Pinar de Rio, Western Cuba. Rediscoved in the 1920s Cueva del Indio is one of the 17 recorded caves in Cuba. It was named after the bone remains of Guanajatabey Indians which were discovered in the caves. Cueva del Indio has the largest system of underground caves in Cuba and in all Latin America. It has been said that it linked the main island to the Isle of Juventud a long time ago. The uniqueness of the Cuevo del Indio lies in its subterranean river. Water levels are kept to keep it navigable. Some of the caves, once the home of the Indians, are now museums and cafeterias. Habitat of the bats and other cave animals, some plants of the Jurassic period still live in this preserved area.

STORYLINE:
A travelling exhibition of art donated by a U.S. philanthropist is giving Cubans a rare chance to see works from masters like Pablo Picasso and Andy Warhol that would normally hang in world-class galleries instead of their sleepy provincial cities.
The exhibit, donated by Gilbert Brownstone, is being held at the Provincial Museum of Pinar del Rio, some 100 miles (161 km) west of the capitol city of Havana.
The star attraction are 12 lithographs created by Picasso in a 1959 series called Fauns and Flora of Antibes, depicting horned satyrs with flowers and playing flutes.
Selections from the 120-piece collection have already toured Camaguey and Holguin in the far-flung east and went on display starting last week in the western city of Pinar del Rio, known more for its tobacco farms than its art museums.
More than a dozen valuable works by Joan Miro, Marcel Duchamp, Camille Pissarro, Georges Rouault, Roy Lichtenstein and others are watched over by just a few police and guards, prompting curious locals to pop in to see what all the fuss is about.
It has been an extraordinary thing to have works from Picasso, such an important figure in universal art. We never dreamed of having masters of this calibre, museum director Maria de las Nieves Ramos said.
More than 700 people turned out for the opening last week and a steady stream of school groups, art students and local residents have been stopping in for what is likely to be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to see such works without trekking to the capital.
The first reaction is for people to say, ''''Are they really originals?'''' de las Nieves said.
People think that works like these that are so desired worldwide, to have them on exhibit here at our institution is impossible, she added.

Viñales is a town in western Cuba. Its main street is lined with colorful colonial-era wooden houses
#visitcuba #vinales Viñales is a town in western Cuba. Its main street is lined with colorful colonial-era wooden houses, including the Municipal Museum, which explores the region’s history. Orchids and palms fill the sprawling Casa de Caridad Botanical Gardens. Viñales serves as a gateway to the Sierra de los Organos mountains and the Viñales Valley. The valley's tall, steep-sided limestone hills, known as mogotes, draw rock climbers.
Monday May 6th
Up early ate breakfast. Taxi Driver Luis drove us to Vinales. 3 hours away. One rest stop took photos of Belly palm made by Evan. We had machete’s it was Hilarious! The chair maker was making kitty sounds. On our way again. Stopped at Restaurant El Campesino Bar-restaurant for lunch. Booked horseback ride of Tabaco factory. Willfredo picked us up in a horse drawn cart with a cover. Very bumpy road!!!!! Arrived on farm tabaco already picked. Hanging on wood dolls 8 rows up and 15 rows across large barn! After our talk which I videotaped. We watched him roll a cigar. I thought we were going to roll one :/ oh well. His name was Gao Gamez Martin he was a master blender. He gave us a cigar to smoke dipped in Honey first then he lit it up. Yuk did not inhale. Next I met my horse Ploama. A grey very docile. Photos with cigar and bottle of rum. Willfredo said a man only needs three things a cigar bottle of rum and a woman! HA HA HA. Next Nadia and Martina road in the horse drawn cart and I followed. We went down a two lane road with house’s next to the road. We got to the turn off, on a dirt road to the coffee plantation. There we got a tour from Edianis very pretty tour guide. She told us about the coffee beans which are arabica beans. That is the only region that grows that particular kind of coffee bean. The rum is made from the guava fruit. Which are very small guavas that they put in the bottle. It is a small factory bottle by hand. The honey is made by black bees that don’t sting only bite no stingers. They have nests under-ground under the roots of the coffee plant and build up the nest 1-2 meters above ground. The bees get the nectar from coffee flowers, mostly the white ones. The honey has a high content of propolis which is very healthy. They use it for any symptoms of illness and put it in the coffee. SOOOO we again bought honey rum and coffee. LOL everyone wants to sell us something. Drive home long. Driver stopped at road-side fruit stand. Then to get ham that is only sold on Monday.

Let me see if I can remember how it was expressed officially. Fortunately everything, including land, is in the hands of the people,
of the system which governs us today, which is the people. But we will do everything we can to ensure this inheritance is returned to Cuba, because it's real, it exists'.

It's a great fantasy, from the point of view of the euphoria and the illusion which is going around. They already know how they are going to spend the money. They have already distributed the fortune, who they are going to help, how many hospitals they will donate to, and so they are so certain, in such a way, that at times even I feel slightly convinced.
24. Cutaway
25. SOUNDBITE: (Spanish) Rafael Farto, Los Remedios resident and historian
All this would be because Remedios is a town full of fantasies, full of mystery. Imagine that in Remedios there exists the only gateway to hell in the Americas. A door that leads directly to the heart of hell and from where the devil himself emerged according to church documents detailing an act of exorcism which declared it was Lucifer.

STORYLINE:
The quiet Spanish colonial town of Los Remedios is home to a legend of lost gold that has united thousands of Cubans in a treasure hunt.
A story, now centuries old, tells of a fortune made by the renowned Manso de Contreras family.
The family arrived in Cuba shortly after Christopher Colombus and grew rich by trading with and intercepting the pirates of the Caribbean.
Bartholomé Manso de Contreras then supposedly hid the fortune from the Spanish crown in the eighteenth century, depositing it as gold in an English bank.
But the descendents of the family want it back.
Thousands have verified their lineage and are staking their claim thanks to records kept in the parish office of San Juan Bautista, in the center of Los Remedios, in the central province of Santa Clara.
