A Cordillera Central coffee district in Santiago province, near 1,000 m, where cooler air is said to add a touch of fruitiness.
Juncalito is a district of Jánico municipality in Santiago province, in the Cordillera Central about 59 km from Santiago city, at about 1,000 m (Wikipedia gives both over 1,000 m and 965 m). Coffee is its main crop, grown by around 1,500 producers, and it is regarded as one of the country's important coffee-growing zones. One guide credits its cooler air with a touch of fruitiness in the beans.
