Marcala is a municipality in Southwestern Honduras, near La Paz. The land is
known particularly for its exceptional coffee, which has exceeded its reputation
throughout the national and international coffee market. There are some
registries of coffee producing farms from 1937-38. However, the
modernization and intensification of production did not occur until the early
1970s, which coincides with the arrival of German families to Marcala. To this
day, coffee crops have become one of Marcala’s most precious patrimonies. To
protect the prestige, the quality, and the namesake of coffee from this region,
in 2005 a DOP (Protected Origin Denomination) was awarded to Café de
Marcala, which was the first awarded to a Central American country.
