Finca La Esperanza is a small 12 hectare farm situated right on the slopes of the Acatenango volcano. With an altitude 1500m above the sea level, an average rainfall of 1300mm and dynamic volcanic soils create perfect conditions for growing spectacular coffees.
In 1950 Don Federico Perez planted first coffee trees in La Esperanza, changing corn crop permanently to coffee. In 1990 the farm was acquired by Hector de la Roca Perez who decided to renovate the farm and plant new varieties like Caturra and Pache.
After passing of Don Hector the farm has been owned and managed by his two grandsons; Erik and German. Their vision for the farm is managing with strong technical, agronomic and financial foundations that leads to positive changes for the environment in which the farm is sustained, that includes workers, natural enviroment and the owners.
