Enriched in history and grand cultural significance, this renowned estate with a premier coffee brand was founded in 1828 by French immigrant Juan Bautista Plumey. One of the oldest haciendas on the island, it became the largest coffee plantation in Lares and the first to generate its own electricity to power their machinery and mills with an aqueduct system. A canal and aqueduct guided water from the mountainside to a 17-foot hydraulic wheel to generate power to the plantation.
Hacienda Lealtad has been beautifully restored over the years, transporting you to a bygone era in Puerto Rico’s countryside when coffee was one of the island's main exports in the 1800's.
