Fincas Cafetaleras

Coffee is a beverage that awakens the deepest passion among those who are accustomed to starting their routine with it, having one more after lunch, and why not, another one to accompany the afternoon. Even though coffee originated in Ethiopia, in Mexico we have made it so much our own that it is already our second main export product. Undoubtedly, those who really like coffee enjoy touring places where it is harvested, and Chiapas is the perfect destination.
It is known as Soconusco, to the multifaceted and profoundly beautiful region of southern Chiapas, who travels through the most Central American area of Mexico, in search of adventure, will be faced with beautiful beaches lapped by waves of the Pacific. A couple of hours will take you from sea level to high coffee farms, at altitudes ranging between 600 and 1,250 meters, where the climate is ideal for a cup of coffee and enjoy the view.
The altitude and the quality of the coffee would seem to be unrelated, but the meters above sea level at which this fruit is cultivated have a direct impact on the flavor, shape and size of the harvest. The term "high altitude coffee" is one of the 11 terms used to qualify the quality of coffee in Mexico, but this one in particular speaks of an outstanding quality. In order to comply with this distinction, the minimum altitude at which a coffee plantation must grow is 900 meters above sea level, a characteristic that can be found in abundance in Chiapas.
