La Josefina

It all started a few years ago. We are dreamers that put our
hands to hard work. We have been coffee lovers since ages,
and finding good coffee has been a challenge for us in Ecuador.
As a couple, Ligia Merizalde and Leopoldo Andrade, are the hands
behind this green land. Together with a big native crew,
they have developed what La Josefina is at the moment, a place
to find unique coffee gather with mother nature.

Cascabel, our home land

Through your way to the Amazonas, you find Cascabel. A wild and
unexplored town, home of hundreds of unidentified species, and 
a pure landscape that can only be overcome by it's own beauty.
There, we found the perfect place to start making in it happen.
A tropical weather, surrounded by bird's chants and a fertile
ground, home of La Josefina.

Deep in the jungle, as part of the Coca Cayambe Natural Reserve, you find an 
indescribable view, a generous land filled by green mountains,
​lakes & swamps and more than 3500 different breeds guided by
a tropical and exotic weather that provides quintessential conditions
for growing high quality coffee.

That's not all! Cascabel is minutes a way from "Los Tallos", if you haven´t
​heard of this mystic place you are loosing big deal. So, the
​story tells that inside of this huge caves you can find some
of the true origins of humanity and other worlds. This is a must see,
​something worth a 2-3 hrs walking trek trough
the Amazonas and it's greatness. If you don't believe us,
see it for yourself.
