Overview

Jeep Safari "HORSEBACK RIDING IN THE SUGAR MILL VALLEY"

Description

Spectacular excursion that will allow you to enjoy a beautiful horseback ride through the Valle de los Ingenios. Together with the city of Trinidad, it was recognized by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site in 1988. The Valle de los Ingenios is a majestic extension of wonderful natural valleys that were once the epicenter of processed sugar production and slavery in Cuba. A place where powerful Trinidadian families used brutal slave labor to fuel their economic success. Today, the remnants of that industry serve as a reminder of its complicated history. The remnants of sugar plantations, barracks and haciendas are places of memory: cultural landmarks that represent both the suffering and injustices of the past, and the resilience and strength of the people who were affected by it.
