Playa Burica was a smash hit and is almost completely sold out (though we did manage to hold back a few great parcels for the end). We learned there were people in the world looking for an Adventure Colony experience.
When clients experienced Playa Burica, they left with a permanent and happy memory.
This excited us beyond belief. We could pursue our passions while sharing the benefits with others who treasured those same values.
We began to put together a plan that we could follow to create more of these experiences.
In our previous explorations, we had covered the entire Pacific Coast of Central America all the way to Southern Ecuador in South America. There were a handful of locations that we loved and would make perfect places to create more Adventure Colonies.
Imagine a private, 400 acre, jungle-covered island.
Wouldn’t that be one of the best locations for an Adventure Colony?
An ancient rain forest with trees as wide as several men would be a surreal place to experience nature in an unparalleled way.

There are so many examples of beautiful places being destroyed by poor planning. The concept of the Adventure Colony encourages preservation of the environment.
By definition the people who are attracted to these places care about nature and they are committed to protecting it.
A colony is a low impact way to enjoy and protect what have become far too rare: wild beautiful places.
We had learned many lessons in Burica and set out to duplicate the successful ones on Boca Chica Island.
Around 20 people will be able to own the island. Our plan has never been about gated communities, cookie cutter houses, or even paved roads.
It is about meshing the incredible, natural environment with minimalistic design to bring people closer to nature.
After all, what good is discovering an ancient jungle if you are just going to cut it down to create space to live there. This is would be an unwanted side effect if we pursued traditional methods of developing.
As mentioned before, each colony location has been hand-picked because of a beauty that begs to be explored. To make this work, each project has to be located in an area that can be explored.

The larger area surrounding the colony needs to offer a world-class outdoor experience to enjoy. This transforms the colony into your personal basecamp for exploration.
Boca Chica Island boasts an enormous area to be explored for years to come. Hop on a paddleboard and explore the incredible mangrove forests or go sailing around the local region.
The most popular day trip is at the Chiriqui Marine Park where there are several uninhabited islands just waiting to have their palm-lined, white sand beaches explored. Pack up your snorkel and some food and spend the day lounging in the sun.
If you like fishing you couldn’t pick a better area, over 50 IGFA records have been established in the waters around Boca Chica Island. The most well known destination is the Hannibal Bank which lies about 25 miles offshore from Boca Chica Island.
Boca Chica Island is a very private place, but it is also near the town of Boca Chica. If you need to get back to civilization you can take a boat about 15 minutes away for a nice dinner in a restaurant overlooking the other islands.
