Hacienda Buena Vista, considered one of Puerto Rico's best remaining examples of a coffee plantation, was the first to establish a farm to grow food and products to feed African and Puerto Rican slaves. It emphasized the importance of proper nutrition and opened the door to influence local humanitarian efforts that abolished slavery, in the then Spanish ruled Puerto Rico. This tour includes a visit to Ponce, our second largest city and named after the great Spanish conquistador, Juan Ponce de León.
