About the family

Duver and his family from Huila, marked by the conflict, found refuge in Caquetá 15 years ago. With agricultural roots and the wisdom of their parents still present on the property, they have revived the cultivation of coffee. This legacy had vanished 40 years ago. With mastery and a united community, coffee flourishes again on their soil, with a new commitment to protecting wildlife and forests.
