Seeking an Ecological Visionary, Trio of Cayonetas Islands Likened to the Galapagos Offered at U.S. $100 Million

OFF THE COAST OF PANAMA – Paradise, and a trail-blazing global mission, awaits a 30-minute helicopter ride over the Pacific Ocean from Panama City: three pristine islands boasting 50 pristine white-sand beaches, 19 miles of coastline over 1,800 acres, with immense biodiversity including a nesting ground for endangered sea turtles and home to a dozen species of birds and trees no longer found on the Mainland.

A high-profile financial first, this exquisite three-island portfolio enters the market for the first time in 35 years, as an unparalleled gateway to ecological discoveries and laboratories of evolution. The new owner will be charged to continue the work begun seven years ago by Pangea World, the architect of this legacy proposition and co-seller.

As a condition for purchase, only 30 percent of the three-island property may be eco-consciously developed, with the remaining 70 percent reserved as a nature preserve for education, geological and medical research.

“This necklace of islands are gems of nature,” says Hana Ayala, founder of Pangea World. “Like a Van Gogh painting or any other art masterpiece, they transcend international borders because of their spectacular connectivity to world history and their importance to humankind and future generations. In buying the islands, the new owner is not simply acquiring real estate but will also acquire a global legacy.”

Ms. Ayala has presented her concept for these islands at events hosted by the United Nations, UNESCO, United States National Academy of Sciences, and other internationally prominent organizations. Please see endorsements on the accompanying fact sheet. Pangea World will further advise and ally with the new buyer to tailor this legacy to their passions, be that education, geology, medicine, ecology, or all of the above.

The business plan is to make the property economically self-sustaining, by welcoming guests to a luxury center of knowledge-based intellectual tourism with funds dedicated to support scientific research such as study of the islands’ and the larger Pacific’s coral reefs for medicinal value, and exploration of vital connectivity among biodiversity hotspots across and beyond the Pacific.

Moreover, Pangea World will facilitate further appreciation of the future facilities as retreats for international scientific gatherings and globally significant negotiations bound to shape business, philanthropic, and political leadership.
