A Recent National Geographic Article Highlights the Rich Culture of Sister City Ataco, El Salvador and It's Surrounding Region.....
Our beloved Sister City of Concepción de Ataco is both a district and city within the Ahuachapán Department, El Salvador. Ataco is right in the middle of the best coffee-growing areas in the country. Some of the best types of coffee in El Salvador come from the mountain areas around Concepcion de Ataco. Coffee from El Salvador is renowned for its high quality, primarily due to the country’s rugged, densely forested regions that produce shade-grown Arabica beans
