The department of Huila is located in the southwest of Colombia. The region produces coffee of a quality that has amazed us in recent years. 

Huila covers an area of 19,890 km², which is 1.74% of the country's total surface area. Huila is one of the most famous coffee producing regions in Colombia, it is part of the new Colombian coffee belt, with many young people involved in its production, curious about processes and new ways to go beyond the traditional fully washed Colombian coffee. 

Incredible coffees can be found throughout Colombia, but the Huila region is notable for its quality and quantity. Its reputation is well established and many of the coffees from this region have won the Colombian Cup of Excellence. It is no coincidence that this region has been awarded a Denomination of Origin. The region has a wide variety of climates and soils, which allows the expansion of meat and agricultural production: bananas, corn, tomatoes, cocoa, sugar cane, cassava, onions, pineapples and blackberries. 

Architecturally, the department of Huila is marked by history. The archaeological parks of San Agustin, Alto de Los Idolos and Alto de Las Piedras bear witness to its historical legacy and have been declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1995. In pre Hispanic times, many indigenous tribes inhabited the region: the Pijaos in the north, the Andaquíes and Yalcones in the south, the Paeces in the west and the Tamas in the east.
