Scattered across the hills of the Escambray Mountains are some of the most beautiful coffee plantations in the world. The farms in the highest plains benefit from mild temperatures and frequent rainfall year-round. Plantations are kept healthy under the protective shade of leguminous, trees such as Ingas, Erythrinas and Leucaenas, and yield exquisite Serrano coffees with a smooth and robust flavour and a nutty aftertaste.
