Other varieties used on Los Lajones are Caturra and Catuai. In 1992, Graciano Cruz R. Before he and his son bought the farm, it was owned by Alberto Rubio for many years and was mainly used for cattle ranches. In the first few years after the purchase, coffee trees were slowly planted in the lower part of the property. Recently, the focus has shifted to the upper part, with the variety of geisha reaching 2100 masl.

The estate is located between two lava flows, and its unique geological characteristics create a completely different specific microclimate.

The rainy season is clearly defined and lasts from May to December. From January to April, the farm is constantly hit by winds from the Pacific Ocean, which collide with the Bajareque arriving from the Caribbean every afternoon.

The average annual rainfall is about 3500 mm, distributed in mild showers, mainly from April to August. The wettest months are usually September and October, with an average of 1000 millimeters per month.
