Crag features

Cabeza de la Vaca has some of the best lines in Viñales and some of the hardest routes in Cuba. In general the climbing is steep and physical, utilizing a plethora of Tufas and Stalactites dripping from the walls. Expect to get pumped; the big holds and tangled featues will test your stamina and capacity to think "tri-dimensionally".

Approach notes

From town head to the Mogote thah you can clearly see from town. After 5 minutes walk you will see the end of the dirt road, there there is a sign that says "Finca Raúl Reyes" and "Cueva de la Vaca". Then follow the signs and ask Raúl where the Cave is.

No Access Issues

Cabeza de la Vaca is in a national park and climbing is tolerated but not completely legal. There used to be issues with access as a Ranger used to patrol the area but there hasn't been any issue for the last few years (2020).
