05 Valle de los Ingenios
Located about 5 miles east of Trinidad is the Valle de los Ingenios, a region historically responsible for the colonial city's wealth. The Valle de los Ingenios is a series of three valleys, once home to vast sugarcane fields and worked by roughly 30,000 slaves. Sugar mills and plantations one dominated the region and some of the ruins are still visible today. One of the best ways to see the area is by taking a ride on a steam train, a truly unique experience.
