After its rejuvenation in 1968 encouraged by Fidel Castro, the region &#8211; built around a creek in the Sierra del Rosario mountains, which was designated a Biosphere Reserve by UNESCO in 1984 &#8211; now flourishes with lush tropical vegetation and sustainable land, created by building terraces on the hillsides \u2013 hence the regions name, Las Terrazas.<\/p>\n<h3>The Wildlife of Las Terrazas<\/h3>\n<p>You can expect to find rich flora and fauna, scenic walking trails and plenty of flowing streams here \u2013 making it a popular destination to visit for nature lovers. Thanks to the region\u2019s notable efforts for ecotourism, there\u2019s a whole host of exciting activities to try your hand at amidst the countryside, from horse riding, to kayaking on the Lago del San Juan, or braving the country\u2019s longest zip wire that whizzes across the waters! If you want to learn about the destination\u2019s history, you can take a tour of the semi-restored coffee plantation buildings which once led to the downfall of the area; Cafetal Buenavista (originally built in 1801) is a popular tourist attraction to visit for those eager to learn of its slave-trading days, plus you\u2019ll be met by fantastic views thanks to its hilltop location. Similarly, you\u2019ll also find the 19th-century\u00a0plantation ruins of San Pedro and Santa Catalina along the La Ca\u00f1ada del Infierno trail walk.<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=&#8221;539&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h3>Culture and Arts<\/h3>\n<p>An hour from Havana by car, Las Terrazas is ideal for those wanting to escape the fast-paced city and soak up a little serenity for a day. When you\u2019re not hiking, making a splash or sailing down the San Juan River, you can admire the community\u2019s art and music studios. That\u2019s right, there\u2019s a handful of creative studios dotted around the region showcasing the best of Las Terrazas local art, with everything from photography and watercolour paintings to hands-on crafts such as recycling paper, bamboo, banana leaf, and bottles. A few of our favourites include Ariel\u2019s Studio, Henry\u2019s Studio and Lester\u2019s Studio, each as fascinating as the next. Foodies will also be in their element, with the restaurants here serving up delicious creole food, often paired with stunning views over the verdant landscape \u2013 unfortunately, there are no paladars here, since all the buildings are government-owned, but the hearty cuisine is equally made with love and served with a smile.<\/p>\n<h3>Cuba&#8217;s Little Known Gem<\/h3>\n<p>Las Terrazas could easily be classed as the country\u2019s best-kept secret. Well, if you\u2019re looking to experience authentic Cuba, then it\u2019s best to go where the Cubans go, right? While many tourists flock straight to the island\u2019s big-time resorts such as Varadero and Havana, they\u2019re missing out on exploring the lesser-known gems, just like Las Terrazas. With Love Cuba, our dedicated team of experts are on hand to guide you in exploring the most incredible corners of Cuba you never knew existed, so you can tick off the famous attractions and spend a day living how the locals do, too.[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=&#8221;885&#8243; img_size=&#8221;large&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;439&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221;][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Once an agricultural jewel popular for farming and coffee plantations, Las Terrazas is a small community and nature reserve in the municipality of Candelaria, Artemisa Province, Cuba.
