"VISIT TO THE LA PICADORA AGROTOURISM FARM" Tour
In the municipality of Yaguajay, in the province of Sancti Spíritus, lies the La Picadora agritourism and ecological farm, a place that offers visitors a unique experience of connecting with nature and Cuban rural culture. The farm provides lodging and a variety of dining options, and also engages tourists in different activities within the local communities, involving 32 families. La Picadora owes its name to the area's former limestone quarrying, which is now used to make bricks and lime using traditional methods. The farm is known for its cleanliness, personalized service, and focus on archaeology and the environment. For several years, La Picadora has fostered cultural exchange and local agricultural development. Visitors can enjoy hiking, guided tours of Caguanes National Park, and agritourism activities.
