As you arrive to finca la Pirague, you see a big field of pitaya (or dragon fruit) plantations. When you arrive to the Vargas Family’s house you ask yourself, where’s the coffee? But pitaya is how Alexander Vargas diversifies his crops. Coffee has alway played a major part in Alexander Vargas’ life as he comes from a coffee growing family. 

Around the year 2000, he decided to start producing coffee on his own. He acquired a piece of land. He has expanded the farm since then. Today, he has 10 hectares of coffee, 7 of them are under production and the rest growth with dragon fruit. Alexander works together with his wife Lidia to process and to produce specialty coffee.

In around 2006, Alexander decided to focus on production solely specialty coffees as a way to add value and find recognition for his hard work on every lot that he delivered. He started working with a coffee group called Café Quebradón, where he learned and gained much experience and knowledge.
