Futuro Forestal - balancing nature and business

Virtual Tour

A trip to the plantations of Futuro Forestal in Panama

 

Our Virtual Tour offers pictures and background information about Futuro Forestal and Panama.  The tour will take you from the airport into the capital city of Panama, along the Panamerican Highway and finally to the plantations in Las Lajas.

 

Our Virtual Tour guides the traveller and investor through images and seeks to answer many frequently asked questions. You will walk with investors Andreas Eke and Iliana Armien through Panama and the Futuro Forestal plantations and will form your own impressions. You’ll see a tree ‘nursery’, follow a seedling until its seventh year, and much more.  If you prefer, we would be happy to send you our Virtual Tour CD which you can play in any DVD player or, check out www.futuroforestal.com/video
