Sierra de los Organos


The Sierra de los Organos mountain chain is celebrated for its splendid landscapes.
The name of this mountain chain refers to the "mogotes", almost column-shaped hills that rise from the base of the chain, sometimes soaring to over three hundred metres.


Indiana Jones would feel right at home in the Sierra de los ?rganos.

The Mogotes are for the famous Cuban tobaccos what the Burgundy hillsides are for the old French vintages.
