village and nature reserve in Artemisa, Cuba

About Las Terrazas

The rural village is located in a mountain range build around a creek. As such the few roads are on separate levels and are therefore probably the origin of the name. At the bottom of a village is a beautiful lake, surrounded by forest, reed and meadow, while the upper part of the village is dominated byPlattenbautenerected by the government to improve availability of housing. The village is in easy day-trip distance from Havana, that’s why esp. on weekends and public holidays the village gets crowded with Cubans enjoying the lake and the booze. On these days the calm spirit gets lost and loud and drunk people may dominate the impression.
