The department of Cauca has one of the most fascinating natural features in Colombia, the birth of the central and western mountain ranges of the country and the Cauca and Magdalena rivers, making it a territory with abundant water and agricultural wealth. Located in the southwest region of Colombia, Cauca borders the departments of Valle del Cauca, Tolima, Huila, Caquetá, Putumayo and Nariño, as well as the Pacific Ocean. This region has rainforests, basins and volcanoes, as well as natural parks and a diversity of crops such as sugar cane and panela cane, potato, corn, yucca, beans, tomato and coffee, which is produced in the  undulating slopes of Cauca, which are also amazing landscapes. Thanks to the Andes Mountain Range crossing through Cauca and the protection in the well-known plateau of Popayán, there are homogeneous climatic and altitudinal features that are ideal for giving birth to one of the most outstanding coffees of Colombia.
