Bolivia is one of the five most diverse countries in the world. It is a landlocked country surrounded by five countries and deeply affected by it. It has a population of more than 1000. The indigenous Indians, who account for about 60% of the total population, are divided into 36 ethnic groups. Mixed Indo-European (Mestizo) accounts for 26%, in addition to 100 European and other ethnic groups. There are Illmani peaks up to 6462 meters above sea level, Lake Titicaca, the highest and navigable alpine lake in the world, and tropical rain forests! Such a variety of terrain can be said to be a paradise for fine coffee micro-batches.

Bolivia's most famous producing area is Caravani, which, in a broad sense, is part of the Yongas region, which is best known as one of the most dangerous roads in the world, nicknamed Yongas Road, which was named "the most dangerous road in the world" by the Inter-American Development Bank in 1995.

To the north of Yonggaz Road, there is a sharp drop of at least 600m (1830 feet), most of which is no more than 3.2m (10ft) of single-lane width, and there is no guardrail along the road, making the road very dangerous. In addition, Rain Water, fog and dust will also reduce the visibility of driving. On some sections of the road, the road is very muddy, with loose falling rocks from time to time. There is a special local road rule that drivers going downhill must stop at the edge of the cliff on the left instead of driving on the right, and allow drivers to go uphill first. In this way, when meeting each other, the car can be stopped and passed safely and efficiently. This is because Bolivia is a right-going country, so it is mostly left-hand driving. This makes it easier for left-hand drivers to stick their heads out of the window to observe their wheels, avoiding carelessness and falling into the valley under the cliff, making it safer for both sides to meet. However, sometimes there is still a lack of lane width, especially for large cars such as trucks and buses. Often one of the parties has to back up in order to create enough meeting space. On July 24, 1983, a bus suddenly rushed off Yonggas Road and fell into the valley, killing at least 100 passengers. It is said to be the worst traffic accident in the history of Bolivia. According to the statistics from 1999 to 2003, there are an average of 209 traffic accidents on Yongjas Road every year, resulting in 96 deaths.

Not to mention, the beans from this producing area must be sent all the way to Chile before they can be sent to you before they are sent to you.

The El Sol de Manana (tomorrow Sun) project. The program put a lot of effort into mentoring member small farmers, providing technical support for various important technologies such as breeding, pruning, fertilization, and harvesting, and purchasing cherries harvested by member small farmers at a higher price, so that farmers' income and quality can enter a good cycle of sustainable management.
