Agrorismo
Ecofriendly Real Estate
Chiriquí Highlands, Panama
About Agrorismo
Agrorismo is an ecofriendly real estate project in Volcán, a mountain town in the highlands of Chiriquí province, in western Panama.
The town lies on the foothills of Volcán Barú, in a farming area of green fields, forest and coffee farms. The climate here is the coolest in the country.
The project is laid out as a master plan of large lots. Its design draws on four features of the site: solar energy, spring water, pure air and native forest.
Agrorismo is intended for people who want more space and closer contact with nature.
