La Plancha, Sierra del Cristal
Pop by La Plancha, in Sierra del Cristal, to get a better look at one typical Cuban plantation and some of its crops
La Plancha is a farm located in the environs of Sierra del Cristal in the province of Holguín, Cuba. In it we find a coffee plantation, active since 1940, where you can visit the manual pulper dating back to 1949 and the drying shed.
The outskirts are particularly meaningful due to the phenomenon of giantism suffered by the trees.
It is teemed with remarkable plant ranges in the country, such as the cacao, citrus fruits, pineapples, strawberries, cotton, sugar canes among others. So, if you are interested in knowing how a true plantation works and the most common species, this is the place to be.
