Cauca is part of Colombia’s coffee axis, along with other states in the South. Coffee moved to that region in part due to climate change and the opportunity to produce coffee at higher elevations. Cauca is a fascinating and equally complex state where an enormous natural and social diversity of indigenous, mestizo, and Afro-Colombian populations coexist with complex violence, tension, and climate risk.
