He traveled to Costa Rico and learned the best methods of growing coffee and thus created the groundwork for Capucas to become one of the most popular coffee plantations in the Honduras. With an altitude of between 1200 meters - 1800 meters. In Capucas, the cooperative COCAFCAL has installed an excellent system for wet processing, new drying machines and last but not least, a fully equipped laboratory to enable sample testing of their roasted coffee.
