The story

Festival Nacional del Cafe Villa Rica in Villa Rica

Villa Rica, a district in the Pasco region founded in 1928 by German and Austrian settlers from the nearby colony of Pozuzo, sits in a cloud-forest coffee zone and holds an annual festival celebrating its coffee harvest and export reputation. The event centers on cupping competitions, producer stalls, and cultural programming tied to the town's European-Andean settler history.

Villa Rica was founded in 1928 by settlers of German and Austrian origin who came from Pozuzo, an earlier Central European colony established in the Peruvian jungle in the 1850s, making the district's population and local customs distinct from most of highland Peru.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

Villa Rica's coffee grows on the eastern Andean slopes in the Peruvian Yungas, a humid, mid-elevation belt long associated with quality arabica, and the district markets itself as one of Peru's premier single-origin coffee zones

02

The mystery stays covered

The town's own history, founded by German and Austrian colonists from Pozuzo rather than through typical Spanish colonial settlement, gives the festival a distinct cultural backdrop alongside the agricultural focus
