Unique preservation experience
Hacienda Buena Vista的点评
点评：Understand a few things--this is not a business, it is an educational foundation. If some of the other reviewers had entered with that understanding, it might have changed their experience. Also--it isn't a coffee shop (much to our chagrin)-- But as a part of PR's effort to preserve it's natural and cultural heritage, it is irreplaceable!
We drove 2 hours from San Juan to listen to a tour given mostly in Spanish (oops)--Our wonderful guide, Maria, gave us recaps now and then--I picked up the odd word--but I could generally make out what was going on as we walked a trail through a forest preserve to a lovely waterfall.
As it happens the founder of the estate wanted to mill corn, so used slave labor (part of the unfortunate reality of Caribbean history) to build spillways to direct the water to a mill, then designed a mechanism to process coffee beans instead, and now the antique machinery has been restored here and still works (!) --pretty cool. Kudos to the foundation for acknowledging the lives and labor of those souls, some as young as 8 years. There's also a restored 19th century home in fairly authentic condition. No coffee is being grown or roasted here any longer (or brewed, alas!) though there is elsewhere on the island.
Do visit, relax, enjoy learning, breathe some forest air, listen to the birds, and learn about the other projects that the Para la Naturaleza organization is doing across the island to preserve its natural, cultural, and historical heritage.

翻译：请理解几点——这里不是一家商业机构，而是一个教育基金会。如果其他一些评论者事先了解这一点，他们的体验或许会有所不同。另外——这里不是咖啡馆（我们对此颇感遗憾）——但作为波多黎各保护其自然和文化遗产的一部分，它是无可替代的！
我们从圣胡安驱车两小时来到这里，参加一个主要用西班牙语讲解的导览（哎呀）。我们出色的导游玛丽亚时不时会给我们做些总结——我偶尔能听懂几个词——但当我们沿着森林保护区的小径走到一个美丽的瀑布时，我基本能听懂讲解的内容。
原来，庄园的创始人最初想磨玉米，于是利用奴隶劳工（这是加勒比海地区历史上令人遗憾的现实之一）建造了溢洪道，将水引到磨坊。后来，他又设计了一种加工咖啡豆的机械装置。如今，这些古老的机械装置已被修复，而且仍然运转良好（！）——真是太棒了。基金会认可了这些生命和劳动，其中一些人年仅8岁，值得称赞。这里还有一座修复一新的19世纪房屋，保存得相当完好。虽然岛上其他地方还有咖啡种植、烘焙（或冲泡，真是可惜！），但这里已经不再种植、烘焙咖啡了。
欢迎您来此参观，放松身心，学习知识，呼吸森林的新鲜空气，聆听鸟鸣，并了解“为了自然”（Para la Naturaleza）组织在全岛开展的其他项目，这些项目旨在保护岛上的自然、文化和历史遗产。
