Coffee Cultural Landscape

Colombia · South America

Coffee Cultural Landscape works almost all year round, peaking in May and September–October, when it is at its strongest for nature & wildlife and culture. One of the wettest periods with daily afternoon downpours that can make rural dirt tracks muddy. Major coffee main-crop harvest activities begin across many estates.
