Located in the Chanchamayo region of northeast Peru, the farms of the coop are small (Chacras), around 2 to 4 Ha. The cooperative gather coffee farmers from 18 regions. It has one treatment plants for coffee wet milling in La Florida and another in Eneñas, as well as a collection center in Salsipuedes.
