Finca Los Altiplanos is situated inside the Datanlí El Diablo Nature Reserve and is surrounded by a plethora of local flora and fauna. The Jugüina River also borders the farm, providing fresh water for the coffee and other vegetation.
Founded in the late 1930s by a Scotsman named Mr. Potter, Finca Los Altiplanos was sold later in the decade to the president at the time, Anastasio Somoza García. The land was confiscated by the Nicaraguan state in the 1980s and incorporated into the swathes of land dedicated to the agrarian reform.
