DAY 4: F/D EXCURSION to LA MOKA (Las Terrazas)
Today we travel to the Western Cuban province of Pinar del Rio to explore the Valle de Vinales. The valley is home to one of Cuba’s most spectacular countryside landscapes, an expanse of lush green tobacco fields studded with mogotes. These free standing, flat-topped, sheer-sided rock formations are the remains of prehistoric limestone plateaus and the subsequent erosion has left rich red soil ideal for cultivating tobacco.
Our day will begin with a visit to the Las Terrazas Eco-Community. Once completely deforested as a result of charcoal production for coffee processing, and mired in poverty, today the Las Terrazas region is a self-sustaining eco-community. We’ll also tour the rural village of Rancho Curujey to learn about this self-sustaining community’s successes in reforestation, historical preservation and environmental balance. We’ll meet with local artists and craft workers, and have an opportunity to visit a school and speak with the teachers and students. Our morning tour will come to an end as we explore the incredible ruins of Cafetal Buenavista, a slave coffee plantation built by the French centuries ago. Lunch at CASA DEL CAMPESINO Restauant. Return to Havana.
