Hacienda La Victoria, Coffee plantation in Antonio Pinto Salinas, Venezuela
Hacienda La Victoria is a coffee estate located in Antonio Pinto Salinas within the Mocoties Valley, positioned along the northern bank of the Mocoties River. The property features a central mansion, museum buildings displaying agricultural history, and expansive drying areas where coffee beans were processed.
The main mansion was built in the late 1800s and housed the first specialized coffee processing machines brought through the port of Maracaibo to the region. The estate later became an educational agricultural facility maintaining its historical structures.
Two museums on the property display vintage coffee equipment, production methods, and belongings of immigrants who came to work and settle in the region. These collections tell the story of the people who shaped this place over generations.
The property now operates as part of an agricultural university focused on research and education. Access depends on current academic activities, so it is best to inquire ahead about visiting possibilities.
The estate retains protective walls and drying structures that date back to 1896, making them among the oldest preserved elements of the original working operation. These walls still define the layout of where coffee processing once took place.
