SITE OVERVIEW

The owner, Adriana Cabrera, started the farm in the 1960s when he settled on Santa Cruz Island. El Trapiche Farm grows a number of products, such as coffee beans, sugarcane, and bananas, among others. With the support of his children, Mr. Cabrera prepared the site to receive tourists who want to learn more about the processes of cultivation, harvesting, and milling involved in the transformation of sugarcane and coffee beans. You can also learn about different cane alcohol distilling techniques, as well as some traditional coffee roasting tricks.
