Located at the Municipality of Araponga, State of Minas Gerais, quite close to the urban zone (approximately 50 meters), the Sítio da Cachoeira received its name because the waters from a beautiful waterfall cross its land. In the areas where coffee is planted, at altitudes above 900 meters, the average temperature is 18ºC, with 1,200mm of annual rainfalls.
