Tierra Templada
The Base of the Mountain -- By Henry Stine
Tierra Templada
At the base of the mountain, one finds the Tierra Templada. Generally, this is between 900 and 1800 meters. Here the air is still fresh, the land is beautiful, with warm breezes rushing through the air. The majority of the populous is at this elevation and most common in Central America.
Warm, but not Hot!
The weather in the tierra templada is pleasant, usually ranging 64.4 degrees Fahrenheit to 71.6 degrees Fahrenheit. Though tropical, it's not hot like the tierra caliente. Bring a light jacket at most, but you shouldn't need layers or coats to stay warm.
Rise and Shine!
The tierra templada is home to the early risers' best friend: coffee. Also home to maize, this region is ideal for growing coffee cherries, which makes lots of money for the harvesters.
Lifestyle
Farming coffee has such a huge market that it's a great way to make money. Also, being the most populated elevation, most generic jobs are available in more populated areas.
