Tacaná is an active volcano, 4,070 meters above sea level, located on the border of Mexico and Guatemala. It shares territory with its neighbor, the Tajumulco volcano. The cloud forest, tropical pine-oak forests, and high-altitude grasslands give the volcano extraordinary scenic beauty. It is one of the areas with the greatest biodiversity in the country; its forests are home to 12 endangered bird species, including the resplendent quetzal, as well as other species such as the giant anteater and the ocelot.

THE PRODUCER
A small producer from Soconusco , Chiapas, located on the slopes of the Tacaná volcano at an altitude of 1,600 meters above sea level.
