Las Terrazas, UNESCO Biosphere Reserve in Sierra del Rosario, Cuba.
Located 75 kilometers west of Havana, Las Terrazas encompasses mountains where over six million trees form a dense forest canopy.
The area underwent transformation in 1968 through a reforestation project that restored mountains damaged by Spanish colonial logging practices.
The community of 1200 residents maintains studios of painters and artisans who create works influenced by the natural surroundings.
Visitors can explore the area through numerous hiking trails, including Sendero La Serafina and Sendero Valle del Bayate.
The region contains ruins of 19th-century coffee plantations, such as Cafetal Buenavista, constructed in 1801.
