Finca La Orquidea is located in the Cerro El Arenal Natural Reserve, where we maintain a primary forest area of more than 20 manzanas (0.7 hectares). The coffee is planted since 2008 in an area of 5 manzanas which were used as meadows and paddocks. The main objective of the farm is to conserve the biodiversity of the area and seek a balance between a quality coffee crop and harmony with the natural environment, as well as its wild fauna.
