Overview
The property is located in Villa Canales, place near Guatemala City. El Mirador could be considering a young coffee plantation, since it has plants from 1 to 15 years old. It has an extension of 42 hectares, of which 90% are dedicated to produce quality coffee. Property was funded on 1993, by his current owner Mr. Nestor Salazar, who it initiated with a small extension, later he acquired other lands from La Esperancita farm, to complete 42 hectares to produce coffee. El Mirador, is a property environmentally blessed, since it has a water source, that is covered by a tunnel of 40 meters in length, illuminated, that is supervised periodically. We also have a beautiful waterfall, 12 meters high approximately, surrounded by natural and wonderful forests. Our coffee plantation is sustainable; all coffee plants used are produce in El Mirador, seeding with our own seed. The soil is prepared with organic fertilizer; every two years, organic fertilizer is applied. Environment its an important topic for us, 10 months ago we begun a project to produce lombricompost, using pulp from wet mill process and worms, they are placed in a special space to capture humic acids, to use it like foliar fertilizer. We process our coffee in an ecological wet mill, with water recirculation, and we also have a water treatment plant. All the coffee produced in our property is dried in the area of patios, that has an extension of 6000 square meters. Guatemala n Coffee Website
