Description

About 10mi/16.1km north of Ponce is the Hacienda Buena Vista, a colonial coffee plantation built in 1833. With major support from the Smithsonian Institute, the Conservation Trust of Puerto Rico restored the plantation to its original condition. The Hacienda Buena Vista sits in a subtropical forest near the Caños River, where visitors can observe a 60ft/18.3m waterfall. The house itself is two-story, furnished with period antiques, and the machinery, mill and waterworks are in working condition. The plantation at Hacienda Buena Vista has been registered with the National Trust of Historic Sites. Observe the milling of corn and try grinding and de-pulping coffee beans.
