La Cascada

In 2012, due to a lack of opportunities and insecurity, I made the decision to migrate to the United States illegally, hoping to one day realize my dream of owning my own farm.

Thus, Finca La Cascada was born as a project that began in 2016 with the purchase of a property. Then, in 2017, we started cultivating specialty coffee, focusing on the Pacamara variety.

My father initiated the project, supporting me while I was abroad. Later, in 2022, after nine years away, I returned to El Salvador to take possession of the farm and manage the project, committed to producing high-quality coffee.
