The SierraMadre Mountains of Central America, which straddles Guatemala from east to west, covers an area of about 2GP3 and has 34 volcanoes. In this country, rivers and lakes dot the landscape, while equatorial forests and plain jungles cover the land. There are also untapped volcanic beaches on the Pacific and Caribbean coasts.

Every 30 years or so, the area near Antigua is hit by a volcanic eruption, which provides more nitrogen to the already fertile land, and plenty of rainfall and sunlight make the place more suitable for growing coffee.

Other coffee producers in Guatemala, such as San Marco, Oriente & Coban, Palcya, Mataquescuintia and La Uman in Sacapa, are mostly cultivated in the high-altitude volcanic soils of the most advanced Arabica (Arabica) varieties. Due to the long ripening period, the beans are medium and dense (Guatemalan coffee beans are graded not on the basis of particle size, but on the basis of shortcomings), and the bean color is dark turquoise.
