Hacienda La Esperanza – Para La Naturaleza

Love the place. Very historic and also tells how the sugar industry has evolved by the different revolutions. Our guide was very nice and very informative, loved the dynamic he introduced and was at another level that what I though. I will indeed recommended for anyone who wants to learn more about Puerto Rico.

This reserve was part of the "bucket list." We had the opportunity to visit this place years ago at an open house, but we arrived a bit late to take a guided tour. Finally we went and it was a wonderful experience. Our guide, Maria Fernanda, stayed our group more time than expected due to the many questions and comments. We had a couple visiting from Illinois, and the whole group was trying to make their experience something unique. We share with them a lot of history and stories about our culture and island. The highlight of the day, the sugar cane mill was working using water vapor from the original furnace. This machine is the only one still in working conditions. Sounds like an old locomotive. It's a worthy visit to our past as sugar cane producer.

They were kind enough to schedule a tour in English for us. What a great experience. Not only are the grounds amazingly well cared for and beautiful, but the tour was thorough and interesting - describing the sugar-making process and the history of the sugar industry on the island. Everyone we dealt with was amazingly nice. Highly recommend.

A historical treasure and very accessible. You don’t need to sign up for a guided tour to go but if you’re not familiar at all with the history of the area I’d say the tour is worth it. Para La Naturaleza makes an amazing job not only at preserving but also at interpreting this place. It’s very accessible to the public in every sense of the word.

Our tour of Hacienda La Esperanza was fantastic, thanks to the knowledgeable guide! She answered all of our questions and was able to show us examples of specific pieces we were asking about. She shared interesting details about the estate's history as we explored the well-preserved grounds with antique machinery and the historic house. The experience was both educational and enjoyable, making it a must-visit for anyone interested in Puerto Rico's cultural heritage.
