Las Terrazas is in Pinar del Rio, Western Cuba.
From the travel guide. Select a place for details, a map and what is nearby.
The ruins of the old coffee plantation where many slaves worked is now a beautiful garden. There’s a Casa del Campesino restaurant nearby.
Row around Lago del San Juan and jump in the water if you feel like it as the Cubans do.
Here’s where Cubans go for a swim. A water platform in the lake makes for extra fun. You can also rent row-boats and kayaks (US$2 per hour).
Upstairs is a restaurant serving basic Creole food as well as basic pasta. There’s also counter serving sandwiches and refreshments. Downstairs is a bar that also serves ice-cream.
Slightly more expensive, but a great lakeside view, good food (esp. the fish) and great cocktails.
Incidentally this has the same menu as the La Berengena in Viñales. As such I assume they serve just a great vegetarian food.
The hotel rests on a wooded hillside overlooking the valley and small lake.
A collectivo from Havana is likely US$15 per person (the taxi will continue with other passengers to Viñales) unless there’s at least four people going to Las Terrazas in which case it may be cheaper.
Read in the guideThe town is easy to walk on foot. It's a good 1km to the bus station though.
