OUR STORY
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.
OUR MISSION
At Hacienda Lealtad, we are not only dedicated to preserving and showcasing the rich heritage of Puerto Rico's countryside, but also to creating a bridge for our visitors to deeply connect with the nature and magic that envelopes this hacienda. As we transport you to a time when coffee was a treasured export in the 1800s, we also aim to enrich your understanding of the history that has deeply woven itself into our Puerto Rican culture. Through this journey, we hope every individual leaves with a newfound appreciation and connection to our island's storied past.
