If not&#8230; keep looking.<\/p>\n<p>But before we wax too poetic about pristine tropical beauty, we\u2019ll let the facts speak for themselves.<\/p>\n<h2>Just The Facts:<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Boca Chica Island is a 400 acre island that\u2019s a 10 minute boat ride from Panama\u2019s Pacific Coast.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>99% of the Island is covered in primary rainforest, which provides for a truly prehistoric and totally un-touched feel.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Boca Chica Island borders Panama\u2019s Chiriqui Gulf National Marine Park &#8212; home to world-class fishing where 90% of the deep sea fishing records have been caught.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Boca Chica Island is, in turn, surrounded by 50 other, smaller and mostly uninhabited islands.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>We own the entire 400 acre Island to including its 5 miles of coastline.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Active Protection for Boca Chica Island\u2019s Natural Beauty<\/h2>\n<p>So&#8230; unlike a lot of other Latin American real estate investors, our plan is never to buy utterly pristine land in order to create high-density developments of condos, parking lots, and tourist spots. That\u2019s not how we create value.<\/p>\n<p>We create value by finding pristine coastline that can be purchased cheaply and transform that land into a community of adventurous, self-sufficient people who hunger for unspoiled beauty and privacy.<\/p>\n<p>And a big part of this business model involves protecting buyer\u2019s investments through very low density (very few houses &amp; lots of land) planning that actively protects the natural beauty of the island.<\/p>\n<h3>What\u2019s Being Built and Planned for Boca Chica Island:<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Mango Bay Villa Estate<\/strong> &#8211; A villa designed to allow all of the comforts of home in an ancient setting. This is where prospective buyers stay when they come down to walk their reserved lots. See a video of that villa here.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/\/fast.wistia.net\/embed\/iframe\/ix7eqexgf9?videoFoam=true\" name=\"wistia_embed\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><script src=\"\/\/fast.wistia.net\/assets\/external\/iframe-api-v1.js\" type=\"text\/javascript\"><\/script><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>A private fishing charter<\/strong> under development on the North point.

It feeds their souls and they feel the need for it more than most.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>They all have the courage of their convictions &#8212; men and women who, after doing their due diligence, are willing to push play on their plans, willing to actually DO the thing.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>They all know what does and does not make them happy, and are willing to abandon what doesn\u2019t work for them in order to pursue what does.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>If you think you might be such a person, and if you\u2019ve been looking either at Panama Real Estate or at finding your own piece of pristine coastline, you owe it to yourself to reserve your lot, <a href=\"\/bocachicaisland\/how-to-own\/\">come visit and decide for yourself. <\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;2371&#8243; img_size=&#8221;large&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221;]<div class=\"  \" style=\"display:block;clear:both;height:55px\"><\/div><a class=\"button highlight  \" target=\"_self\" href=\"http:\/\/vivatropical.com\/bocachicaisland\/available-parcels\">See What's Available<\/a>[\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/4&#8243;][vc_column_text] [\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_raw_html] 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 [\/vc_raw_html][vc_column_text] [\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/4&#8243;][vc_column_text] [\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_column_text]First, if you\u2019re looking for a well-developed vacation or retirement spot, complete with condos and lots of other sight-seers, this is NOT the island for you.
