Acatenango

The Acatenango region is defined by its rugged volcanic landscape, situated on the slopes of the active Fuego and Acatenango volcanoes. Coffee plantations typically thrive at high altitudes ranging from 1,300 to 2,200 meters above sea level. The soil is notably rich in minerals due to frequent volcanic activity, which provides essential nutrients for coffee plants. This unique microclimate, combined with dense shade and temperate weather, allows for the development of dense, high-quality beans.
