Description
Colombia boasts diverse coffee-producing regions, each with its unique microclimates and elevations, nurtured by dedicated farmers. Coffee’s journey in Colombia traces back to the 19th century when Jesuit priests planted the first seeds. Today, Colombia stands as a leading coffee producer globally, with cultivation spanning across 20 out of its 35 departments, predominantly driven by smallholder producers who craft exceptional coffee.
Among these regions lies Nariño, nestled in the southwest corner bordering Ecuador. Blessed with volcanic soil, Nariño owes its name to Antonio Nariño, a pivotal figure in Colombia’s fight for independence alongside Simón Bolívar. Despite enduring conflicts with guerrillas and paramilitary groups, Nariño remains resilient, steeped in rich history.
Our journey leads us to the picturesque town of Buesaco in the Juanambú Canyon, a verdant Andean Valley within Nariño. Once marked by battles for independence, Buesaco now thrives as an agricultural hub, thanks to coffee. Coffee cultivation here has empowered local producers
