The ‘Museo de la Caña de Azúcar’ (Sugar Cane Museum) is a place charged with the positive energy that nature transmits. It is a space to get in touch with it and learn about the customs and practices around the cultivation of sugarcane and its processing. The properties of the sugar cane mix with the museum’s air, translating into a sweet breeze that filters through all the corners of the place, generating a pleasant sensation of freshness to its visitors, who can choose to do the guided tours and, after that, admire in more detail the landscape and architectural beauty of the Hacienda Piedechinche.
The Hacienda is located in the village of Santa Elena (El Cerrito), and consists of an 18th century colonial house that preserves the atmosphere and utensils of the time. The museum, in addition to offering a historic tour throughout the house, offers the spectators hikes to the surrounding, where the so-called trapiches (colonial structures used for processing sugar cane) are displayed and an exhibition of colonial transportation. Furthermore, the museum has a restaurant capable to host a large groups of people.
