A Day in the Life of a Cuban Farmer
At Finca El Justo, visitors have the unique opportunity to spend a day as real Cuban farmers, fully immersing themselves in the daily activities of the finca.
The experience begins with a walk through the fields, where you can observe the cycle of organic cultivation up close. Depending on the season, you may see lush orchards, vegetable gardens full of produce, and crops of corn and cassava. Each phase of the work is guided by expert farmers who share the secrets of their ancient agricultural traditions with visitors.
It’s not just about watching but actively participating: those who wish can take part in fruit picking and taste the freshly harvested product.
Animal farming is another central part of the experience. At the finca, dark-coated pigs, known as "cerdo capa oscura", live freely in their natural habitat, providing a great example of sustainable agriculture. Animal care follows natural cycles, and visitors can closely observe the various stages of breeding, understanding the importance of a respectful and responsible approach.
This immersion in Cuban rural life allows visitors to appreciate the strong connection between man, land, and animals - a balance passed down through generations, making this one of the most authentic experiences Cuba has to offer.
Traditional Bamboo Pole Fishing
A unique experience Finca El Justo offers its visitors is the chance to engage in traditional bamboo pole fishing. This technique, passed down from generation to generation, is still widely practiced in Cuba's rural areas.
Within the finca’s reserve, visitors can enjoy the thrill of fishing in a natural way, far from modern fishing equipment, engaging in an activity that requires patience, concentration, and a deep connection with nature. Local experts guide visitors step by step, showing them how to use the bamboo rod and the techniques to catch fresh fish from the reserve’s ponds.
This experience is not only a fun moment but also a way to understand the importance of sustainable and eco-friendly fishing methods. Fishing at Finca El Justo becomes a perfect occasion for those seeking to experience rural Cuba in an authentic and relaxed way.

Campesino cuisine is a celebration of simplicity and genuine taste: dishes prepared with love and in respect of Cuba’s centuries-old traditions.
A typical meal includes pork or chicken, slowly cooked on the grill or in aromatic stews, accompanied by rice, black beans, yucca, and fried plantains. Everything is seasoned with fresh herbs grown on-site, giving the dishes a unique and unmistakable flavor.
Visitors can also enjoy seasonal fresh fruit, picked from the finca’s orchards, and sip natural juices prepared on the spot.
