La Perla Estate (Finca in Spanish) is located on the steep hills of the highlands of western Guatemala, which is known as the La Perla Estate é region. This is an area famous for the excellent beauty of indigenous culture and scenery. The name & # 39th La Perla' comes from Ixil (the local Mayan language), meaning "Sleeping Beauty". Despite the conflicts caused by the civil war between 1960 and 1996, La Perla has been producing coffee for 75 years. Being able to continue production, especially given that they are often caught up in battles between the army and guerrilla opponents, is a trust in brave and determined workers.

Once the fighting was over, the family of Arenas, the owner of La Perla, spent a lot of time, energy and resources assisting local refugees. They provide them with jobs, health care (such as vaccinations, etc.) and relocate them-usually by rebuilding entire villages! Today they can see that the small settlements throughout the estate accumulate to accommodate 2500-3000 local Mayans.

Many local residents work on farms and grow food to meet their needs. The strength of the local community is obvious and an association of more than 500 workers has been formed with a focus on mutual support and assistance to improve the living standards of all residents.

La Perla coffee grows on soil and sand at an altitude of 1200-1800 meters and is covered with limestone bases. The Arenas family is meticulous in coffee production. Cherries can only be picked (by hand) when they are perfectly ripe and then wet ground or dried in the sun, or mechanically (the latter is used in adverse weather conditions). Their dedication and passion have been rewarded again and again, winning the Presidential Award at the 2006 Award for Excellence and holding five auctions between 2001 and 2011.

Only 15 per cent of the estate's vast land grows coffee (Kaddura and bourbon), with about 30 per cent reserved for native forests. These places provide safe havens for local and indigenous animals and plants. In addition to coffee, the farm also grows cardamom, macadamia nuts and other grains. In addition to the 5000-5500 mm rainfall received in the region each year, there are a large number of other water sources, including rivers (Ixtupil and Sacsiwan) and a number of natural springs, all of which and the ideal temperature guarantee the production of coffee with a special flavor.
