Las Veraneras

Rodrigo Sanchez

Small-scale producer

Las Veraneras Farm is the newest project established by Rodrigo Sánchez, an innovative producer who manages renowned farms including Monteblanco, together with his wife Claudia. Las Veraneras means “bougainvillea flowers,” reflecting how their journey has always been surrounded by the vibrant colors of bougainvillea, and how they seek to express those colors through coffee. The farm is located in the Peñas Blancas mountain range of Huila, on the border between the two major producing areas of Acevedo and Pitalito. It sits at 1,500 meters above sea level, reaching up to 1,750 meters at its highest point. The climate averages around 22°C, and the farm is surrounded by more than 200 hectares of forest reserve. Of these, 75 hectares are suitable for coffee cultivation. The Santa Bárbara stream originates within the farm and flows into the Timaná River after feeding two aqueducts.
