THE VISION
Punta Ballena, will be an eco-collective, an education center and a re-forestation project. Guests will stay comfortably in low-impact and off-grid accommodations. Jungle paths will lead to 7 different beaches through primary forest, reforestation projects, and food gardens. Thousands of square meters of shallow Coral Reef surround the properties, and deep water reefs further off-shore , both home to more than 700 recorded species of marine life. Snorkeling and diving tours will be accessible to guests who visit the grounds. Days will be full of nature and education, and celebratory meals will be enjoyed on the sunset patio.
The eco-collective is currently divided into 4 aspects: The Education Center, The Tour Center, The Accommodations and Restaurant, and the behind the scenes restorative projects. We are currently gathering a Team of ethical Investors, green-entrepreneurs and scientists to make this projects a success. A Punta Ballena share holder needs to participate in one or more of the following areas:

BEHIND THE SCENES CONSERVATION GOALS
700 species of fish have been identified in the Golfo de Chiriqui, and the protected waters are used for breeding and birthing by the Humpback Whales.
