Haus Land Permacultor

Staying with Miguel and his family was an amazing experience. I really can’t emphasize how great it was to meet and spend a few days with this family. For Miguel’s part, he was incredibly generous with his time in sharing all about his farm, his garden laboratory, and all his knowledge about medicinal plants and herbs. For me, who wanted to practice Spanish and meet Cuban people, it was a dream come true!

For Yancey’s part, she took such good care of us, with beautiful meals, double-checking our arrangements in town with other guides, rescheduling things for us, even making us some soup when one of our party caught a cold. Such a nice person.

I can’t wait to visit again!

The Casa Campo is a warm and  welcoming place with much laughter. We really enjoyed our amazing stay. Truly the best people on the most beautiful land. "Tengo la Vida"

Miguel, Mercy, their daughter Yancy,  and Yancy's two delightful
little girls, live just a10 minute walk from the charming town of Viñales.

Viñales  is surrounded by farms and is very quiet and peaceful. We enjoyed getting up at sunrise and walking on the roads between all the picturesque farms. Everyone waved at us and greeted us even though they didn't know who we were. We felt very welcomed and safe.

Miguel, Mercy and Yansy are all so very kind and friendly. Miguel is a great human, trying to leave a small footprint, while assisting others and teaching them how to respect the earth.

Miguel is very knowledgeable about so many topics. He taught us much about organic farming and medicinal plants. He helps his community with education about caring for the land and provides medicinal plants for his neighbors.

Mercy and Yansy cook excellent meals. We had pork, fish, chicken, soups, potatos, rice and beans, salads and desserts. More than we could eat. So good! Don't miss the dinners. The home cooked meals are so much better than at a restaurant. Much of what we ate came right from Miguel's garden!

The house was quite relaxing.  With a super strong air conditioner, that keeps the room cold for sleeping. Great hot water was nice feature and we had access to a refrigerator.

The front porch is very relaxing; "Tranquilo" as they say here. We simply can't express enough how thoughtful, genuine, and humorous this family is.  They couldn't have been more welcoming.  This is a great place to stay.

Yansy speaks good English making it easier to communicate. She helped organize a trip to see the caves right away on our first day there. She also assisted in organizing horseback riding with their neighbor Erbierto.

Erbierto, an excellent horsemen, has rock solid, trustworthy horses, safe for anyone to ride.  He has trained them well.

Erbierto is also a great guy. Like Miguel, he knows everyone. He is kind and respected in the community.

We rode with Erbierto two days. The first tour took us on a ride through the farms where we
stopped to learn about tobacco and coffee farming; it was very educational and scenic.

Riding a safe horse who knows where he is going let's you look around and really see the country, much better than a bicycle!

The second day was to a beautiful mountain lake. These were really great experiences not to be missed. We would highly recommend staying in this casa and riding with Erbierto. The perfect way to experience TRANQUILO!
