Colombia and Brazil are the largest producers of the region, but smaller countries like Nicaragua, Guatemala, and Ecuador depend on the export to stabilize their respective economies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I love coffee. Cortados, pour-overs, americanos, you name it. I also love to travel, especially in Latin America. In fact, I\u2019ve spent the better part of the past few years exploring different coffee growing regions. Why? Well for starters, the weather is unbeatable. The optimal temperature range for growing coffee is between 63\u00b0F to 73\u00b0F. Second, small towns that rely on coffee are charming, full of history and friendly people. Third, the best coffee grows at elevation, which means a beautiful landscape and plenty of opportunities for hiking, paragliding, mountain biking, and other extreme activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You\u2019ll never be bored when visiting a coffee-growing region. Featured below are some places that you should add to your next trip itinerary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-mexican-and-central-american-coffee-production\"><strong>Mexican and Central American Coffee Production<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Mexico and Central America produce a wide range of different coffee beans. Flavors are sweet and tart, ranging from citrus to chocolate. The coffees are often described as having a clean flavor with a fruit-like acidity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-mexico\"><strong>Mexico<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-chiapas\"><strong>Chiapas<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>San Cristobal de las Casas<\/strong>&nbsp;is a great base for exploring Chiapas, one of Mexico\u2019s most culturally rich states. There\u2019s museums, churches, markets, Mayan ruins, and one of the largest canyons in the world &#8212; Sumidero Canyon.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-veracruz\"><strong>Veracruz<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Coatepec<\/strong>&nbsp;is known as the coffee capital of Mexico. The interactive coffee museum, El Cafetal, is a great place to learn about the coffee process.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Xico<\/strong>, a town nearby, is another special place to visit. It\u2019s one of the oldest cities in Mexico and has spectacular views of the surrounding mountains.

Not only is it surrounded by coffee, but it is also a great place to experience Mayan culture. There are many different coffee cooperatives that support the rights of local coffee farmers.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-huehuetenango\"><strong>Huehuetenango<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Huehuetenango&nbsp;<\/strong>is the main coffee hub in Guatemala.

The different varieties typically have strong flavors with a heavy body, which makes them great for espresso. Brazil produces the most coffee, but Colombia has the reputation of producing the highest quality. Peru, on the other hand, produces a lot of organic coffee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-colombia\"><strong>Colombia<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-antioquia\"><strong>Antioquia<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Jeric\u00f3<\/strong>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<strong>Jardin<\/strong>&nbsp;are great places to experience Antioquia, one of the most culturally rich states of Colombia.
