In the southeast, Cusco is at an altitude of 900, 000 meters, and the coffee-growing area is located at the top of the Andes. Most of the varieties of coffee here are Caturra,Bourbon and Typica. Most coffee is grown by small farmers, not by large estates. Tourism is booming in the region, and many tourists pass through Cusco on their way to Machu Picchu. The climate and soil of the region are suitable for high-quality coffee, with flavors of red and black fruits, plums and raisins, as well as very rich chocolate, creamy mellow and medium acidity.

This is a towering mountain range, ancient ruins, such as the famous Machu Picchu, where some coffee producers built farms along a secret escape route behind the ancient fortress, which was not discovered by growers until 1980. The infrastructure is inadequate, more than 10 hours from the southern to the northern edge of the region, but it is worth a try.
