Discover Bio Caribe Real Estate, A Unique Ecovillage on the Caribbean Coast of Costa Rica.
Bio Caribe is an ecological residence integrated with nature and focused on the practices of sustainability. On the 304 Acre property we created 58 fantastic lots all with amazing views on the Panamanian mountain. We chose to develop this property not only because it is unique location. On the one hand it is a remote hideaway, but at the same time Bio Caribe is connected through a private road to Punta Uva’s pristine beaches at less than 2 miles. The international airport of Changuinola is only 20 miles away and the lively Caribbean town of Puerto Viejo is a great place to spend the evening on a 20-minute drive.
Bio Caribe is located on the most southern corner off the Caribbean coast. Just 2 miles from Punta Uva; one of the best-known beaches in Costa Rica.
Why Bio Caribe?
The Philosophy of Bio Caribe is to be part of an organized and green community where the main goal for all is to live sustainable in harmony with nature and the local community.
Sustainability is the capacity to endure. It is the potential for long-term maintenance of wellbeing, which in turn depends on the wellbeing of the natural world and the responsible use of natural resources Bio Caribe is putting the common phrase” Reduce, Reuse, recycle” into action by forming a community centered around creating resource rather than consuming them. Through organic farming, alternative energy, recycling, and communal spirit this sustainable community allows its members to enjoy a life surrounded with likeminded people who share the same values as you do. By producing food, energy, and using alternative building technics members can drastically reduce their monthly existences, and even generate income. While a consumer-based lifestyle tends to mean longer workdays to pay for products produced by others, our proposed lifestyle at Bio Caribe enables members to produce basic commodities for themselves leaving more time for things you really want to do and personal enjoyment. In the long run, we will all be living sustainable lifestyles. Many of us are already moving that way–positioning ourselves to live more sustainably–at a pace of our own choosing, rather than waiting until circumstances force our hand. Some who are further along are trying not only to live more sustainably, but also to pass on what they are learning.

Sustainability is…
In short it is the ability to provide for the needs of the world’s current population without damaging the ability of future generations to provide for themselves. When a process is sustainable, it can be carried out over and over without negative environmental effects or impossibly high costs to anyone involved.
