Come observe the turbine and see how the river's power was transformed into a way to process food products like corn and coffee. Completely refurbished, the turbine is still powered by the waters of the Río Canas and serves as the main engine for other machines from that time. Come up to the mountains of Ponce, Puerto Rico, and visit Hacienda Buena Vista, a former coffee plantation from the mid-19th century.Īt the former hacienda's heart is a carefully restored historic site containing structures that are over a century old and a hydraulic turbine that is the only one of its kind.
