Moka Las Terrazas Hotel ★ ★ ★ ★ ★

At the very heart of the Biosphere Reserve “Sierra del Rosario”, 45 minutes away from Havana, is located the Hotel Moka, the perfect spot for ecotourism lovers and for those who wish to have a closer look on the day to day life of the Cuban rural population. The hotel is surrounded by the community Las Terrazas, placed on a hilltop in San Juan valley from where visitors can enjoy a privileged view of the splendid landscape including a lake bordered by trees.

The community Las Terrazas grew up within the protection of old ruins from French coffee plantations which started the golden age of the region back at the XIX century and today is recognized by its nature integrated architecture. Its inhabitants develop a sustainable rural economy project based in the rational exploitation of the natural resources; this approach allows the tourism practice in complete harmony with nature.
