In 1992 we created a new concept in
the tours offered in Puerto Rico.  Since
then, we have been pioneers in the
region, offering private ecotours to the
small mountainous towns of the
western-central region.  Our efforts in
promoting this type of tourism helps
the economic development of the
towns we include in our itineraries.

Not only we visit the main building, but
the coffee plantation as well.  Plan an
overnight stay at Parador La Hacienda
Juanita (Maricao) or Hacienda Gripiñas
(Jayuya).  These properties were real
coffee plantations in the past.

Half and full day tours depart from
Mayagüez, but we can customize it as
per your personal request.

    Nevertheless, plantations were built in

    settled in Maricao.
