Guatemala-Day 3



Another amazing day in Guatemala! We left early for the long ascent/descent to Acatenango, 2.5 hrs. from Antigua to visit La Soledad farm. We were again greeted with such warmth and kindness that we felt quite at home. We sampled some Pacamara, Bourbon and Typica varieties that were all very good. After piling into 4 Japanese pickup trucks we ascended to the higher elevations to see the "porto alto bourbon" trees which were beautiful. They have a large worm compost area and recycle their water. A very progressive farm. Onward to Atitlan!
