Crossing the 150 meters of the Cavern of José Miguel, in the Valley of Viñales, allows the visitor to go back in time to reach the eighteenth century Cuba and come into direct contact with the rich heritage bequeathed to our culture by the so-called "continent" black".

Created at the beginning of the 90s, El Palenque de los Cimarrones is a kind of living museum that weaves, between legend and history, the passage of Afro-descendants through western Cuba.

This place sui generis hosts the replica of a settlement of rebellious slaves: trapiches, improvised beds of yagua, pillows of banana leaves, pipes of clay and other handcrafted manufactures recreate the life of the cimarron in rugged scenarios.

In the surroundings there is a curious restaurant that exhibits the symmetrical structure of open caneyes with a guano roof, installed in the style of the old African villages. With capacity for 160 people, the establishment specializes in Creole food and is distinguished by the legendary cocktail "Oshún", whose name honors the patron saint of Cuba.
