Caranavi

Caranavi is a municipality located in the Yungas ecoregion of the La Paz department, characterized by its lush, tropical, and mountainous terrain. Coffee is typically cultivated at high altitudes ranging from 1,200 to 2,000 meters above sea level. The region features a unique climate with significant temperature swings between cold nights and warmer days, which slows the ripening of coffee cherries and concentrates their flavor. Most farms in the area are smallholder operations, often spanning only a few hectares, where coffee is frequently grown under shade alongside other crops like citrus.
