Pe�a Redonda lies in the fertile foothills of the Alotepec-Metapan mountain range, in the municipality of La Palma in El Salvador�s Chalatenango Department. The farm ranges across 8 hectares on slopes that reach 1,400 to 1,500 meters above sea level. Pe�a Redonda�s name is derived from a large rock (180 metres by 60 metres) that is located in the middle of the farm, and the region is, indeed, rocky. Far from struggling with the area�s rough terrain, however, Carlos Mauricio Lemus Landaverde has shown Pe�a Redonda to be a prime example of the region�s potential for excellence in coffee quality. He farms 4 acres of Pacamara, 4 of Pacas and � of an acre of Bourbon here, and his coffee has placed in El Salvador�s Cup of Excellence for the last four years running.
