How many estates are worth exploring in the whole Santa Ana volcanic area? Along Highway 12s or from the Great Lake, I have visited about 15 manors, more than half of which are more than 1750 meters above sea level, including the St. Ilena Manor of the Lima family. I have had lunch six times at the national park interpretation station in the manor. There are more than 1800 meters, tourists are rare, a small number of farmers, but also met the national park rangers. St. Ilena is between 1850 meters and 1900 meters above sea level. The Lima family is very attentive in this manor and will not be slow to make progress because of its fame. It has planted eight different excellent varieties, especially Bourbon, Kenya and a small number of Pacamara species. The coffee harvested is of high quality and the post-treatment is also refined. She is a regular winner of the Excellence Cup and won the sixth place in 2017. The 40 washed Pacamara in 2013 is famous for its delicate flavor. Add a long-lasting aftertaste by the selected direct batch.

Let's take a look at the beautiful scenery of the manor:

St. Irina has a bird's-eye view of the famous Coatepeque Lake, a huge volcanic lake that is not only a popular tourist attraction for foreign tourists, but also a summer and holiday leisure attraction for locals. Palo de Campana, where the estate is located, is located on the side of the lake in the Santa Ana volcanic area, so you can see the beautiful lake view.

Saint Ilena has a history of 80 years and was founded in 1930. As previously introduced, she became famous very early and won several excellent Cups. The most interesting ones include the primeval forest above and many shade trees and wild animals. The fertile soil in this area comes from volcanic soil and ash, especially a large amount of fertile minerals after volcanic eruptions. In recent years, two volcanic eruptions have caused heavy damage to mountain gardens. The lucky thing is that the natural fertile soil has been preserved, and the low-temperature micro-climate at high altitude is one of the important elements of quality maintenance in the present time of warming. In fact, the original forest preserved by St. Ilena is almost connected to the National Volcano Park into a complete forest (Parque Nacional Los Volcanes), which is very beneficial to landscape maintenance, ecological protection and climate regulation.
