Coatepec, México

Known as the orchid capital of México, it’s located in the central mountainous area of the state and surrounded by different topography ranging from trails to hills and waterfalls. Coatepec has a privileged but also limiting geographic position. It’s located in the lower part of the Cofre del Perote volcano, so its lands are very fertile and suitable for almost any crop. At the same time, Coatepec’s location in relation to the Gulf of México means cold air arrives from the north, meaning that coffee can only be grown up to 2000 meters above sea level due to the constant risk of frost in higher areas.
