Valley of the Sugar Mills in Trinidad, Sancti Spíritus

The Valley of the Sugar Mills is a majestic extension of wondrous natural valleys that were once the epicenter of processed sugar production and slavery in Cuba. A place where powerful families from Trinidad used brutal slave labor to fuel their economic success.

Today, the remains of that industry serve as a reminder of its complicated history. The vestiges of sugar plantations, barracks, and haciendas are places of remembrance – cultural landmarks that represent both the suffering and injustices of the past, as well as the resilience and strength of the people who were affected by it.
