Finca Santa Maria is located in the Buesaco area of the department of Nariño. Located at an altitude of between 1800 and 2200 meters above sea level, in a mountainous area on the border with Ecuador, the coffee is cultivated with large temperature differences that make the production unique.
Armando Benavides has owned this 8-hectare farm for over 30 years. He promotes sustainable agricultural practices: polyculture, agroforestry, composting, and working the land to reduce the use of chemical inputs.
