Description
The Lima
Cajamarca is located in northern Peru. It is located in the northwest of the country, bordering Ecuador to the north, Amazonas to the east, La Libertad to the south, and Lambayeque and Piura to the west.
Cajamarca, due to its altitude, is located in the Quechua region (between 2,300 and 3,500 meters above sea level), which determines its climate to be temperate, dry, sunny during the day, but cold at night. Its average annual temperature is 15.6°C, with the rainy season from December to March. However, in its different regions, some cities have a tropical climate. Furthermore, its proximity to both the coast and the jungle, not to mention its proximity to the Equator, gives it the best climate of the departments of the Peruvian Sierra.
Its largest coffee-growing provinces are Jaén and San Ignacio, located at 900–1,950 meters above sea level. The Typica, Caturra, and Bourbon varieties are grown here.
Cajamarca coffees are notable for their sweetness, notes of red and yellow fruits, and bright acidity. Thirteen provinces make up the department of Cajamarca.
The northern Andes or páramos, such as those of Santa Ana and Tabaconas, which occupy a small area of the Western mountain range, stand out in its geography.
