Our vision is guided by a powerful, proven framework born right here in Panama: Tourism, Conservation, and Investigation (TCI). Pioneered in 1998 by Dr. Hana Ayala and adopted as a national strategy, TCI moves beyond traditional ecotourism to create a self-sustaining, “virtuous circle.”
Provides resources for Conservation and Investigation, and creates tourism jobs in villages that traditionally depended on extractive work like fishing, hunting, logging and cattle farming.
Active protection and restoration of forests, mangroves, and marine habitats. Local rangers restore biological corridors, and ensure the long-term health of the ecosystem.
A living laboratory for scientists from world-renowned institutions. Their research deepens our understanding of this incredible biodiversity, and their discoveries are then woven back into our visitor experiences.
