Northwestern Peru's Piura region is a land of contrasts where nature has crafted the perfect environment for an extraordinary cacao. This unique corner of the world offers a unique blend of landscapes and climates that give birth to one of the most coveted varieties of cacao beans. Imagine a place where endless sandy dunes meet the vast Pacific Ocean to the west, while to the east, a higher elevation takes way. From January to April, the arid landscape of Piura undergoes a magical transformation as rain breathes life into the region. For brief moments, the higher parts of Piura burst into a lush, green paradise, creating a tropical desert, a rare gem in the world of ecosystems.
