It looks like the Rio Dulce has finally been “discovered”.  Freedom-seeking self-starters are looking for a peaceful, sensible alternative to retirement in industrialized nations as life there becomes increasingly dangerous, expensive, polluted and stressful.

Purchasing waterfront land in the Rio, and building your dock and house can be surprisingly affordable.  Or, renting a tropical vacation get-away may be what you are looking for.  We are now familiar with legal compliance and government bureaus, as well as local agents and suppliers, and we are ready to help you every step of the way. more

Design your own vacation hide-away home, in an exciting global cruising community, at a fraction of U.S. prices -- dock, boat & beach included.  If you plan for a simple cottage or a grand hacienda, consider natural light, prevailing winds and cooling effects, the proven methods to live comfortably and safely in the tropics.

We use all the best quality modern materials together with ancient local knowledge to effectively maintain the natural environment.  For example, our conical palapa style roof, woven from 3,000 palm fronds is the ultimate in sun and rain protection, Mayan style. more
