Resguardo Indgena Inga Aponte

The reservation is located 4 hours away from Pasto, Capital

city of the department of Nario, on the border with
Ecuador.
The Ingas as they are named, are decedents of the Incas,
and have been established there since the 18th century.

The Ingas are proud of their culture, and one of the most
prosperous native communities in Colombia. Because of
their location near to the Amazonas forest, they keep an
active exchange with other native tribes in the neighboring
department of El Putumayo that live in the highly dense
jungle.

Reserva Planadas

Planadas region is rich in agricultural production, including

coffee, and other crops that make this region one important
source of agricultural products of the central region of
Colombia.
The territory of the municipality was inhabited for ancient
aborigines tribes that settled there before the conquer of the
Spaniards. Recent history begins in the 1930s when a Jesuit
priest promoted the migration of some neighboring communities
to establish in the place where today is located the town.

Our coffee comes from an association of small farmers

AGPROSEM that stands for Association of farmers and coffee
producers of specialty coffee of Montalvo at Planadas. The
association gathers 39 small coffee growers that got together to
improve the quality of the coffee produced in the region, and to
get better prices on their coffee through the negotiation power
that the associative model gives them.
Currently the association is involved in training programs
targeting its associates to promote better farming practices, the
conservation of the sources of water, and the environment.
