Sugar Cane Museum

Located in the city of Moron, about 500 kilometers from Havana, the facility offers the opportunity to observe the different stages through which has passed the sugar industry on the island. In the outdoor area, in a nice environment surrounded by trees, the tourist enjoys the performance of the local folk group Afrocaribe, that through dance symbolizes the work of the slaves of the time, in the sugar production. The ceremony takes place around the replica of a mill (rustic cane grinding system) and an ox plow, used to manufacture sweets in the stage of the colony. Built in 1914, the Patria o Muerte was the first sugar mill on the island to introduce mechanization in sugarcane processing. It was December 20, 1962 when Ernesto Che Guevara used to combine sugarcane harvester in the fields near that place. After the restructuring process of the sugar industry in 2002, it became a museum to safeguard the Cuban sugar heritage and keep alive the historical and cultural traditions of one of the most historical industries in the Caribbean country.
