Set against the breathtaking Cordillera Azul Range, our mission goes beyond producing top-quality cacao beans. We are a beacon of inspiration, fostering local production and enriching the Contamana community. With a vision for environmentally conscious practices, Fundo La Piramide stands as a steward of the land, crafting a promising future for all.
Our Growth and Development.
We are excited to announce the first phase of our expansion with the establishment of a new 5-hectare cacao plantation. Currently, 6,200 cacao saplings are being carefully nurtured in our nursery to support this initiative. This calculation is based on a density of 1,200 trees per hectare. The soil at Fundo La Piramide is rich in minerals and perfectly balanced for premium cacao cultivation. Following the successful transplantation of the saplings from the nursery to the field, we will pursue official Organic Certification to validate our commitment to sustainable and high-quality farming practices. Our strategic expansion plan is scheduled as follows:
2026: An additional 15 hectares will be planted. 2027: The final 30 hectares will be cultivated, completing the project. This phased approach will culminate in a total of 50 hectares, positioning us as a key producer in the region.

Our Paradise: "La Pirámide Farm"
Our farm is located in the Contamana district, a magical place known as "The Pearl of the Ucayali." Its name, of Shipibo origin, means "Hill of Palm Trees," and it is home to indigenous peoples such as the Shipibo, Conibo, and Shetebo, with whom you will have the opportunity to interact.
The farm is situated 1.5 hours from the city in a privileged natural environment. One of its borders is the fascinating Aguas Calientes River, whose thermal waters, averaging 35°C (95°F), originate from the geothermal heating of the Sierra de Contamana. This imposing mountain range is part of the Sierra del Divisor National Park, one of the most biodiverse areas on the planet.
