29 - Camino Viejo - Perù 2025

I am Elmer Eugenio Díaz Aguilar, coffee producer and president of the Rutas del Inca Agrarian Cooperative. From my farm Camino Viejo, located at 2,085 m a.s.l. in the rural community of Pariamarca, I passionately cultivate the Geisha variety in a healthy environment free from deforestation.
The name Camino Viejo (“Old Path”) comes from the fact that an old bridle path used to run through this place, connecting Pariamarca and Paric, recalling the saying: “The old road never fails to pay off.”
I inherited this coffee-growing tradition from my parents, and today I continue cultivating with dedication and hope, seeking to improve my family’s quality of life and contribute to the development of my community. Through teamwork and perseverance, I am honored to represent my cooperative in such an important event for Peru’s specialty coffees
