The Rutas del Inca Agrarian Cooperative has been working hand in hand with its associates for eight years. Currently, the organization has 300 small coffee producing families as partners, who cultivate their coffee at around 1,554 - 2,409 masl.
Rutas del Inca sets itself apart in the Peruvian coffee landscape as a young, quality-driven cooperative that leverages its incredible micro-climate to produce some of the finest coffees in the country. Whereas many cooperatives stick to cultivating tried and true varieties like Typica, Rutas del Inca has chosen to additionally produce boutique varieties like Pache. Their area of production is also quite different than most parts of the country. The farmers of Rutas del Inca grow their coffee at high elevations, completely encased by mountains. Therefore, the weather remains cool throughout the year, thanks to winds that breeze through in the middle of each day.
