Chiapas was one of my long-cherished producing areas to visit. Organic agriculture has been prospered in Mexico, and Pt. Tapachula (Chiapas) is especially famous for producing high quality coffee.
Earlier, we have visited Huatulco and Pluma Hidalgo (1 hour drive from Huatulco) in Oaxaca. There were continuous mountain chains dotted with small towns in each ridge. The towns were pretty fascinating and I could feel the long histry of relation between people and coffee here.
Then we once got back to Mexico City (because it was quite dengerous to take a land route from Oaxaca), and flew to our main destination Tapachula. The coffee farm is located in mountainous area near Mexico-Guatemala border, 5 hour drive from the city. |
