About
Maitri Park
An Overview
Maitri Park is a true eco-community.
Maitri Park is a 25 hectare
(62 acre) expanse of wilderness located within walking distance
from the town of Puerto Viejo de Talamanca, Limon, Costa Rica. We have
sized and designed the lots within Maitri Park so that you will have room for your dream
home, garage, guest home and garden, yet still have ample space to live amongst
the tress that were alive when Christopher Columbus arrived on this coast in
1502. We are committed to conservation and giving back to our
community. Our farm is located in the last island of ancient primary
forest between Puerto Viejo and the Cahuita National Park, which is right across the Carbon River from our
farm.
We believe it is imperative that the members of the
Maitri Park community learn to live within this precious ancient eco-system and not
against the lives of the monkeys, sloths, birds, and 800 year old trees that we
call our neighbors.
The old cacao farm that was planted here
100 years ago gives us room to clean out some of these chocolate plants living
under the primary forest canopy. This creates enough room within your lot
for the construction of your home, garage, gardens, and guest home and still
have ample space left over to wander amongst the jungle.
Nature trails wind through the communal
conservation areas. Walk to the Carbon river , Cahuita National Park, the Caribbean Sea, or
Puerto Viejo. We have plans to start a green iguana re-introduction center ( a
native endangered species), cacao/ chocolate demonstrations and sales,
native medicinal and botanical gardens; all the while giving employment
opportunities to the indigenous and native peoples of the area and raising
awareness of their culture and history.
