Powered by water from a waterfall, the processing equipment is still in working condition. There is a main house, slave quarters, farm buildings, and processing areas. Located in the lush mountains above Ponce, Hacienda Buena Vista is a beautifully restored, 19th century coffee mill and plantation. Because of Puerto Rico’s rich soil and cool mountain regions, coffee grows very well here, and it has been a major agricultural crop for the last 150 years. Puerto Rico is known for many things, and great coffee is just about at the top of the list. Update- 6/21, They have restarted running tours!
