Attar Roses
Our farm is located in the city of Machachi, 70 km to the south of Quito, Ecuador, at an altitude of 3.200 m. The farm is situated at the slopes of the Illinizas, two volcanic mountains that are a great source of water and other natural resources very valuable for agricultural purposes in this area. Being at the top of the Andes has an important influence in the weather, giving the perfect temperature and humidity conditions.
