Introduction to Santa Cruz Manor in Ecuador Coffee Manor

Eastern region: part of the Amazon River basin. The foothills of the foothills with an altitude of 1200 to 250 meters above sea level are rapid. below 250 meters are alluvial plains. The river is open, the current is gentle, and there are many rivers.

Located in the Pacific Ocean, the Cologne Islands (Galapagos Islands) is more than 900km east from the continental coast and covers an area of 7800 square kilometers. it includes seven large islands and about 70 small islands, all composed of volcanic cones and lava. [3]

Resources

The minerals are mainly oil, mainly distributed in Guayaquil Bay, and oil fields are also found in the Amazon Plain. Gold and silver are distributed in Machaki and Saluma and other places. Copper is made in Machaki. There are sulfur mines in the Cologne Islands. In addition, there is iron, lead and so on. Forest area accounts for about 68% of the national area, mostly distributed in the eastern region, rich in valuable wood, such as mahogany and balsam (or Balsa wood). The coast is rich in tuna and shrimp. Giant turtles and giant lizards on Cologne Island. [3]

In 1535, Frey Thomas de Belanga of Spain and others stumbled upon the Galapagos Islands. Thomas was born in 1487 on the Douro River in the province of Soria, Spain, and was the fourth bishop of Panama at that time. He was ordered to go to Peru. When his ship set sail from Panama on February 23, under the impact of a strong current, they were taken to the unknown sea, and on March 10, they discovered a small island in the Galapagos Islands. At that time, there were only two days of fresh water left on the ship, and the sailors landed in lifeboats and found a large number of seals, sea turtles, giant tortoises that could carry people, and iguanas that looked like venomous snakes, but they did not find fresh water, so they sailed to another larger island more than 20 kilometers away. As there was still no wind, it took them several days to get there, and the water ran out quickly and they had to starve, including the horses on the boat without grass.

When Thomas and the crew landed on the island, they were frantically looking for water and were so thirsty that they squeezed juice from the fat leaves of the cactus to drink. At last a source of water was found in a rocky gully. Thomas attributed it to the gift of God, because it was good Friday, and they had piously celebrated mass before they set out in search of water. But Thomas will never know that the island they landed on is the only island in the Galapagos archipelago that has plenty of fresh water, today's St. Cristobal Island (Saint Cristobal).

St. Cristobal is a larger island in the Galapagos archipelago. At 410m above sea level, there is a small lake called El.Junco, which forms streams along the rocks and volcanic rocks on the southern slope of the island. Mineral-rich fresh water moistens the land of St. Cristobal, keeping the soil moist and fertile. Provide the most rare conditions for the growth of coffee here.
