Day 19 - Jungle Gratitude

Between the eastern part of the Guaniguanico mountain range and Pinar del Rio, and the provinces of Havana, lies the Sierra del Rosario Biosphere Reserve.  The rainforest had been cleared in this area but parts of it are being replanted while others are used for agriculture.  This area was the site of the first major coffee plantation in the New World.  Some small farms still exist, many of them producing shade grown coffee.
