The earliest archaeological landscape of coffee plantations in southeastern Cuba, located in the Maestra Mountains in southeastern Cuba, was a coffee-growing area in southeastern Cuba in the 19th and early 20th centuries.

Mount Maestra averages 1500 meters above sea level and spans the provinces of Guantanamo and Santiago. The south slope of the mountain is steep, dry and uninhabited, while the north slope is gentle, humid and densely populated, making it suitable for growing coffee crops. Coffee cultivation here was introduced from Haiti by France in the mid-18th century.

Historically, most of the residents here have migrated from different places to escape the persecution of foreign invaders and domestic dictators. In 1790, a slave uprising broke out in the neighboring French colony of Haiti, and more than 30,000 French colonists fled to Cuba to settle down. They have rich experience in growing coffee in Haiti. After coming to Cuba, he opened up the land and engaged in the coffee plantation economy in the southeast. According to records, by 1833, Cuba had more than 2000 coffee plantations. Among them, the seven earliest coffee plantation sites are listed as World Cultural Heritage. These coffee plantations were reclaimed on virgin land in the foothills of Maestra. The coffee plantation at the foot of Mount Maestra is an example of an attempt to grow new crops in unfamiliar land.
