Front Street-brief introduction of Atilante treatment Plant in Guatemala

To the south of Lake Attilan are three famous volcanoes, all more than 3000 meters. The westernmost one is San Pedro Volcano. Toliman Volcano appears to be very prominent by the lake. In fact, she has double craters and the main volcano Atitlan Volcano is 3537 meters high. Beyond the volcano, the mountain descends all the way to the plain facing the Pacific Ocean.

Lake Attideran is one of the main volcanic coffee areas in Guatemala. The soil near the lake has good organic matter and is fertile and suitable for growing coffee. Since most coffee is planted along the lake all the way up the steep hillside, this terrain is not conducive to soil and water conservation, so farmers are often nerve-racking about how to keep enough water content in the land, while early deforestation and local land burning farming methods It is easy to cause great persecution to the environment.

The steep terrain is not easy to retain water in the first place. Although the lake is very large, it cannot all be used by pumping water from the lake. Fortunately, there are 19 very important private protected areas (Private Nature Reserves) around the lake, covering 6000 hectares of primeval forest and coffee estates, almost all of which are shaded to grow coffee and pick organic planting methods, which greatly protect the natural environment of Lake Attilan. They use the method of protecting primitive forests to enrich water resources and adopt artificial construction methods to establish soil and water conservation and even hydropower, all of which have achieved great results. Mainly the cultivation of Arabica varieties and tin pickup derived species and so on.

Lake Attilan is one of the four volcanic coffee producing areas in Guatemala. The soil around the lake is very fertile and should be one of the highest farms in the area, mostly extending from the slope to Lake Attilan. The lake is still 1500 meters above sea level. It is also the largest and most famous high-altitude volcanic lake in Guatemala.
