Run by Hernan Dorronsoro Borrero who has dedicated his life to growing coffee, La Marianela Estate is located between the volcanic mountains of Coconuncos and the Nevado del Huila. The land is covered with natural springs and creeks, creating ecological corridors that have allowed the growth and preservation of native trees and animals, generating environmentally friendly conditions among a sea of plantations.
The estate’s commitment to sustainability saw them obtain Rainforest Alliance and UTZ certifications back in 2016, demonstrating the care and concern towards their workers and ecosystem.
