Comunidad Nueva Alianza:
Ecotourism Destination & Organic Coffee & Macadamia Plantation
Comunidad Nueva Alianza is an
organic coffee and macadamia plantation owned and operated by a cooperative of forty Guatemalan families, located in a sub-tropical area 1000
meters above sea level and 45 minutes north of the coastal town of Retalhuleu. The community is nestled amongst a 300 acre plantation
of organic coffee and macadamia trees where large tracts of natural tropical forest have been preserved as well.
A walk through the plantation will bring you to cascading waterfalls with crystal clear water, edible and
medicinal plants, and breathtaking views of volcanoes Santa Maria (3772m) and Santiaguito - an active volcano which erupts, on average, every hour.
Our cooperative works according to the principles of Direct Democracy and currently boasts within its organizational structure
a Women's Committee, an Education Committee, and a Board of Directors dedicated to ensuring that all workers have equal rights.
