Known as the rainiest province, Cartago is located in a series of valleys in the center of the country. The capital city sits at 4707 feet in the shadow of the Irazú Volcano.
The province itself enjoys humid tropical weather, intensified by the altitude and the presence of surrounding mountains. The area's volcanoes have enriched the soil, favoring coffee and other agricultural production. Volcanic soils promote efficient distribution of the roots of the coffee plants, retaining moisture and facilitating oxygenation. This combination of features provides vitality to the plant and is one of the factors that contribute to the exceptional flavor of this gourmet coffee.
