coffee trees field – Hacienda Venecia, Zona Cafetera, Colombia

This picture has been taken in La Zona Cafetera in Colombia. This region of the country is where the major part of the coffee produced is grown. The colombian coffee is mainly arabica of high quality. The smoke you see is a worker treating the coffee trees to avoid moistures. All the work here is done by hands and the work very physical. The workers make in average 200 USD per month, 50% less than the official minimum wage in the country
