About the family
Mrs. Adymaría’s family was a victim of forced displacement due to the armed conflict and was able to return to their property approximately 15 years ago. Due to her love for coffee growing, she has continued with this deep-rooted tradition in the area. Today, La Audiencia has become a project focused on shade coffee and biodiversity conservation. As a result, 12 species of mammals have been recorded on the property and are being protected, including the jaguar.
