Kalu Yala, Sustainable town and campsite in Panamá District, Panama.
Located in the Tres Brazos Valley along the Pacora River, Kalu Yala extends across 500 acres of Panamanian rainforest, 50 minutes from Panama City.
The development began in 2008 when a real estate developer purchased rainforest land and transformed the project into a sustainable community following market changes.
The Kalu Yala Institute provides research programs focusing on sustainable living practices, drawing participants from 48 states and 25 countries since 2010.
Visitors access the location by driving to San Miguel base camp, then completing an 8-kilometer journey either by hiking or using specialized 4x4 vehicles.
Four rivers surround the property, enabling rafting activities for eight months of the year while supporting the local ecosystem.
