Because of the Canal and our geographical location, Panama offers a wide range of logistics, commercial, financial and legal services to corporations from all over the world. One of these services is the Colon free zone, the largest duty-free zone in the continent and the second largest in the world.

Golfo de Chiriquí, Provincia de Chiriquí

Chiriquí, Panama's breadbasket

Chiriquí is the second most important province in Panama. It is located just 6 driving hours away from Panama City (35 minutes, if you take a plane instead). The Valley of the Moon (as it was known among the natives) offers a miriad of tourism attractions: Beautiful beaches like Las Lajas, misty mountains full of life and breathtaking views, nice weather around the year, topped with the vibrant indigenous cultures.

David, capital of the province, is a bustling city energized by intense commercial activity. The government is investing heavily in the infrastructure of the area, creating new highways and modernizing the International Airport in David

Chiriqui is a land of fertile soils and a variety of micro-climates. Its habitants have taken advantage of these features by creating a bustling agro industry around it. Cattle farming, race horse stables, banana plantations, trout farms, flower production, rum distilleries, and coffee plantations are only a few of many important activities in the area.

The Chiriqui Highlands, home to Brisas de Volcán, are abundant with flora and fauna. Hundreds of species of birds, insects and mammals live here. In fact, you can observe the beautiful quetzal and other unique species of birds at just 15 minutes from our project at the Volcán Barú National Park / La Amistad International Park.
