Hacienda Buena Vista is a natural protected area that includes one of the most important coffee and minor fruit estates. During the time that it functioned as a hacienda, Buena Vista served as the setting for a unique relationship between land, water, and slavery. Today, the heart of what was the hacienda contains a carefully restored historic site with structures that are more than a century old and a unique hydraulic turbine. Rehabilitated and in operation, it is still driven by the waters of the Cañas River, which still serves as an engine for several machines that date back to the heydays of the hacienda.
