Palacete Los Moreau is a house museum located in Moca, Puerto Rico. Historically known as the Labadie Mansion, the house inspired Enrique Laguerre to write La Llamarada.The property was restored as a museum and renamed the "Palacete Los Moreau" in honor of Laguerre’s novel. It was part of the Hacienda Irurena, a 19th Century coffee plantation, this mansion was completed in 1905 and is now the only structure left from the old hacienda. Designed by engineer Paul Servajean in the french “chateau” style of the time, the palace features huge porticos and front end spires.
Shortly after the the house was completed in 1905, sugarcane became the principal crop cultivated on the surrounding land. Enrique Laguerre, one of Puerto Rico’s most celebrated writers, based his classic novel “La Llamarada” on this period in the plantation’s history, then known as the Castillo Labadie.
Now it is administered by the municipality of Moca after several years of abandonment, the property was restored as a museum.
Rooms feature authentic period furniture and include a public library named after the author. After passing away in 2005, Enrique Laguerre’s remains were interred in the grounds of the estate, forever linking him to the place made famous by his skillful writing.

Omg where do I even start. These people at TTR are just wonderful human beings. I was trying to orchestrate and put together a proposal sometime during this ride while on the beach. Let me just say “I couldn’t of done it without them”. From ownership to tour guide these people were wonderful. Special thanks to Elizabeth, Michelle and Albert. I would DEFINITELY recommend this place to anyone looking for a good time. Oh and let’s not forget to shout out those well trained and kept horses. THEY ARE WONDERFUL!!!

First off, you'll definitely want to call in advance to arrange a visit to this small but vital "shrine" to the craft of bobbin lace (aka "Mundillo") made famous in this humble town of Moca, PR. If you're from the NorthEast USA, the Moca area, with it's cows, farmland and wide open spaces, looks a lot like Massachusetts. The Museum is right in the main town, a few blocks from the town plaza with it's beautiful church structure. Inside, there are examples of lace from throughout the world. Mudillo lace is the result of many cultures coming to Puerto Rico and eventually, crafting their own style. To this day, it is very prestigious and traditional to have one's newborn baby clothed in Mudillo Lace Outfits and Booties. Museum Founder, "Mokay" (pronounced mo-kigh) started this Museum as a tribute to his late Mother but many Artisans from throughout the years are given tribute here. The Museum is humble and small but houses intricate lacework examples that are special to Puerto Rico. Mundillo is still done today by young and old and this
town hosts and annual "MocaFest" in the Fall that showcases this craft LIVE. A trip here (with a nearby stop at "Tender Chicken" for great Fried Chicken) plus a stop at the beautiful grounds and French Chateau known as "La Palacete de Los Moreau" makes a wonderful daytrip in the Puerto Rican Countryside. Call "La Palacete" in advance as well! Enjoy historic PR!

The beach in general is in perfect state to bathe, to visit and to have great time with friends and family. Although its main building food kiosk is gone, the fishermen rehabilitated another part in the parking lot and are selling various type of fresh fish during the day. They are going to sell local fritters, and refreshments. So, Crash Boat beach is ready to welcome new visitors to enjoy!!!

Such a beautiful place! Filled with local families and surfers. There's a friendly bar, but they didn't have power after the hurricane so they closed early when I visited. Bring a snorkel mask, there's plenty to see.

In this little alcove, Tres Palmas shelters a pristine reef only feet from the shore. In the summer, seas are calm & the waves are quiet (or nonexistent). Colorful schools of fish can be seen swimming among massive elkhorn coral. All you need is a mask & snorkel! In the surf season, waves can be 20-25’ high.

After lunch at the Tamboo, we went climbed down steps to the beach, then went bodysurfing on the breakers. Great spot! Few people, fewer rocks, warm water, and enough wind. The waves are frequent, relatively easy to read, irregular enough so that I could catch one further out and get a double ride towards the beach after lurking in (between waves) chest deep water. On the shore, plenty safe if you stay near the water's edge, which is where children and dogs stayed.
