Finca La Esperanza La Cascada
In the northern reaches of the country is the region of Nueva Segovia, bordering Honduras with high mountains ideal for coffee production. It is here, in the community of Los Arados in the Mosonte municipality where Finca La Esperanza is situated. In 1996, Carlos Alexander Lopez Pastrana purchased the farm and has been managing it ever since. He named the farm ‘Esperanza’ meaning hope, to reflect his desire to be a self-sustaining household, whilst also preserving the water resources for future generations.
