The Valle de los Ingenios (valley of the sugar mills) is a valley close to Trinidad, Cuba located between the Sierra de Escambray and the Carribean sea. A lot of sugar mills and colonial houses form a UNESCO world heritage site.
In this valley slaves were held to grow and cut sugar. An important building is the 50 meters high Torre de Iznaga – a bell tower used to watch the slaves. Today you can climb up. A good point for views on the valley is the Mirador de la Loma, on top you’ll find a small bar. Don’t be irritated if the put stones under your tires: it’s just to protect your car from rolling down the hill.
