Day 6 Las Terrazas (B,L,D)

Take a morning ride past majestic mountains and beautiful scenery to Las Terrazas, Cuba's first UNESCO-sanctioned biosphere reserve. Visit the 19th century coffee plantation ruins. Don't miss the opportunity to experience a traditional Cuban Creole meal at a typical farm house.
