Exceptional Rainforest Property and Eco Destination in Golfito
In a world when sustainability is imperative, and the preservation of our environment, water, and food sovereignty is crucial, this property serves as a symbol of hope. This exceptional 600-acre rainforest property provides not merely an opportunity but a significant answer as our planet confronts issues like climate change, biodiversity loss, and the pursuit of harmonious cohabitation with nature.

The FBV property was initially obtained to avert the logging of the mountain. Currently, it serves as a refuge for biodiversity and a demonstration of ecological ingenuity. Serving as a convergence zone between the Talamanca Highlands to the east and the Osa Peninsula to the west, it is integral to a wildlife migratory corridor, hence playing a crucial role in the preservation of global biodiversity. This wildlife corridor spans tens of thousands of acres, creating an unparalleled land bridge between La Amistad National Park to the east and Corcovado National Park, Piedras Blancas National Park, Terraba Sierpe National Wetlands, Golfo Dulce Forest Reserve, and Golfito National Wildlife Refuge to the west.
This remarkable project was established to exemplify sustainable living, generate employment opportunities, and promote scientific research in a socio-economically disadvantaged and under-researched region of one of the planet's most biologically diverse areas, as noted by National Geographic.
This facility flourished for 15 years as a distinctive and desirable destination for environmentally conscious travelers globally, accommodating several thousand people each year.
