On the beautiful hills near the town of Palestina, Huila, Luis Edgar Camacho resides at his farm La Palma. There, he lives with his wife Ledy and children, Jairo and Stiven. Luis Edgar comes from a coffee farming family. It was his father who, through working as a cherry picker, was able to save money and purchase the current farm. Unfortunately, he passed away not long ago after buying the farm. Luis Edgar's mother carried forward and provided for them. Luis Edgar has two sisters and one brother, of whom one sister lives in Australia, and sadly, the brother passed away. Between them, they used to work the field and eventually decided to build a house on the same farm to be near their mother. Initially, the variety they had was Typica, which they changed to Caturra in 2019. He introduced Pink Bourbon planting 6,000 trees and another 2,000 trees in 2021, which has yielded good results

Luis Edgar started delivering coffee to Caravela in 2014, describing it as a strict company with high standards, but he appreciates and likes the challenges. Over this period, he has experimented with several things to improve his quality, such as adjusting fermentation times and changing the vessel in which he ferments. For example, initially, he used traditional open-air tanks, but in 2022, he switched to blue plastic containers that can be sealed, placing a degasifying valve. During that same year, he decided to submit his coffees to Cup of Excellence for the first time. Through his consistent and passionate work, Luis Edgar has been able to enhance the quality of his coffee, achieving higher quality coffees. Additionally, he holds C.A.F.E Practices certification, with his farm serving as a model in the area.
