La Bandera

After completing his studies, Diego Hidalgo Umana lived in the USA for more than 14 years. Together with his wife and children, they then decided to invest a large part of their savings to buy Beneficio Bandera.The farm covers more than 100,000 square metres and has a wide variety of micro-lots and varieties, including Encino.This farm has the distinction of being located in a place where the wind blows from the Cerro de la Muerte, which is one of the highest hills in Costa Rica. This wind flow produces microclimates that are beneficial to coffee production. On the farm there are also protected areas with water sources, which help to provide water for all the farmers during the summer, hence the great importance of keeping these areas protected from logging and any type of pollution.
