First Coffee Plantations

The First Coffee Plantations, a UNESCO World Heritage site in Cuba, are 19th-century ruins of estates that pioneered coffee production in the Americas. Nestled in lush hills, these sites feature remnants of manor houses, drying platforms, and slave quarters, reflecting the industry’s economic and social history. This landscape preserves a unique blend of agricultural heritage and natural beauty.
