Guatemala - Campamiento Alto

From Farm To Cup

Aurelio Villatoro was born into coffee. As a child, he dedicated himself diligently to his studies, and when he finished school, he became a mechanic and returned to Finca La Esperanza, his father's farm. His hope was to continue farming with his father, and in 1986, he founded his own farm called "Villaure," a combination of his first and last names. At first, his plot of coffee was very small, but with enthusiasm and dedication, he increased productivity and slowly bought more land. From 2002 to the present, the family has received numerous national and international awards.

The long and winding road that leads to Aurelio Villatoro’s home is surrounded by coffee farms, but the wait is worth it! His home village, Hoja Blanca, lies on the frontier of Cuilco in western Huehuetenango, with Mexico visible barely a kilometer away. The steep land in this high valley is dotted with award-winning lots from the family. Aurelio’s indomitable energy is as infectious as his smile. A mechanic by training, he took to the family business of coffee and has excelled through hard work and attention to detail.
