Abstract	Located in the southern region of the state of Minas Gerais is Mantiqueira de Minas, one of the most important prizewinning regions producing quality coffees in Brazil. In 2011, the region’s tradition and reputation were recognized through a Geographic Indication (Indicação Geográfica IG), the second for coffee in the country, in the modality of Indication of Origin (Indicação de Procedência IP). With a large participation of family based coffee farms, the region is also representative of the mountain coffees of the South of Minas, both in terms of its environment, characterized by hilly landscapes, and in terms of the production systems used. To exploit the full potential of this area for specialty coffees and meet the growing demand for this new segment it is necessary to understand the coffee environments in the region. This work is part of a research project that aims at a detailed characterization of the region’s coffee agroecosystems. In the present study, geotechnologies were used to map the areas occupied by coffee plantations. RapidEye satellite images and SPRING and ArcGIS softwares were used. The results showed that coffee occupies approximately 8% of the region’s total area and is mostly distributed in the hilly areas with higher elevations. The results of this study provide information to better understand the factors involved in the expression of the beverage quality of the specialty coffees produced in the region and the scientific basis required for obtaining a new IG, this time in the form of Denomination of Origin (Denominação de Origem DO).
