Amazing Opportunity Farm to Table
Bastimentos, Panama
Property Description
Discreetly tucked away in a quiet Caribbean Coastal Bay in Bocas del Toro Panama, is a treasure, La Loma Jungle Lodge and Chocolate Farm, a small eco-lodge and organic farm like no other.
La Loma was created to celebrate the environmental diversity of the magnificent island of Bastimentos. It has created a unique haven for visitors from all over the globe, hand in hand with the commitment to bring sustainable benefits to the indigenous Ngabe peoples of the area and their fragile natural environment. That is what La Loma has been doing for 15 years and they are now looking for a new steward, someone looking to invest in a responsible business that achieves positive, proven impacts with a secure positive return, someone who wants to set down roots in an entirely unique and magical hideaway.
La Loma sits in a prized location, directly bordering the spectacular Bastmentos National Park. It's 23 Hectares stretch up from the mangrove shores forest of Bahia Honda, through groves of cacao, organic gardens and preserved old growth forest to one of the highest points on Bastimentos island.
With Bocas's finest white sand beaches only 5 minutes away by boat journey away, snorkeling, jungle hikes, bird watching, surfing, sailing, wilderness yoga, and volunteering in the local community are just a few diversions right at your doorstep. The nearby local Ngabe community has around 250 inhabitants.
Food production and gastronomy are a huge part of La Loma using innovatively, a multitude of jungle fruits and tropical vegetables that have inspired the only true farm to table menu in Bocas. There are over 200 fruit trees and 700 cacao plants used primarily in their kitchen but the surplus is sold in Bocas and Panama City.
The 4 cabins and main lodge run on Solar power with water coming from onsite springs and rain catchment. The main lodge is for dining and communal area as well as a yoga pavilion and is excellent for dance parties.
