The Sanctuary spans a projected footprint of 2,930 acres (1,185 hectares), strategically assembled to secure a critical biological corridor bordering Braulio Carrillo National Park.
The Land Structure The project creates a unified private reserve through a sophisticated tenure structure, combining 349 hectares of fully titled core holdings, secured possession rights, long-term conservation leases, and strategic purchase options ready for execution. This assemblage ensures complete control over the watershed while allowing for the immediate expansion of the protected area upon funding.
Situated within Costa Rica’s Central Volcanic Range Biosphere Reserve, The Sanctuary offers expansive views of the region’s ecosystems. The land includes untouched rainforests as well as strategic cleared areas that provide opportunities for development without cutting down any forests, ensuring a balance between progress and preservation.
Regulatory Status: De-Risked & Defined We have completed comprehensive preliminary vetting with key authorities, including SINAC, the local Municipality, and Procomer. The regulatory pathway is clearly defined and low-complexity, focused primarily on the reception structures and restaurant.
Over the course of 40 years, Don Victor Mora secured the critical properties that form the heart of The Sanctuary. His vision for conservation has been carried forward by his sons, Alexandro and Luis Mora, together with Sergio Miranda, who have structured a phased land consolidation strategy for this ecosystem. The project integrates titled land, possession rights, and identified acquisition targets into a unified conservation and development framework, designed for execution upon successful capitalization.
The Sanctuary is situated in one of the most biodiverse corridors in Central America. Biological surveys have cataloged 467 bird species, 72 mammals, 110 reptiles, and over 5,000 plant species within our ecosystem.
Strategic Synergy with La Selva Biological Station: Located just 27km away, The Sanctuary shares the same critical biological corridor as La Selva, one of the world’s most important tropical research centers. Drawing on the founder’s past success hosting Organization for Tropical Studies (OTS) courses, The Sanctuary is designed to serve as a high-value satellite site for scientific and educational tourism, mirroring the proven La Selva model.
