Just for fun...

​Hacienda Buena Vista, Ponce

8/30/2016

0 Comments

 
Nested in the mountains and following old channels up to the waterfall that gave its name to Hacienda Buena Vista en Ponce, a carefully restored historical site containing structures more than a century old and a hydraulic turbine that’s the only one of its kind in existence. Completely refurbished and in working condition, the turbine is still powered by the water of Río Canas and serves as the main engine for other machines of the time. Come watch them work and feel how the force of the river was transformed into movement to process food products. Enjoy the breeze under the canopy of a subtropical forest and go along with a history and nature expert to learn about the shaded polyculture of coffee, cocoa, oranges, plantains, and other fruits. Visit all year long or come in time for traditional coffee or cocoa festivals. Tours to other natural areas west and south of Puerto Rico are also coordinated from Hacienda Buena Vista.
