About the family
Due Mr. Edinael’s family love for coffee growing, they have continued with this deep-rooted tradition in the area. Today, Caño Rojo has become a project focused on shade coffee and biodiversity conservation. As a result, 11 species of mammals have been recorded on the property and are being protected, including the puma and jaguar observed by workers on the forest.
