 It looks like the Rio Dulce has finally been “discovered”. Freedom-seeking
self-starters are looking for a peaceful, sensible alternative to
retirement in industrialized nations as life there becomes
increasingly dangerous, expensive, polluted and stressful.
Purchasing waterfront land in the Rio, and building your dock and house can be
surprisingly affordable. We are now familiar with legal
compliance and government bureaus, as well as local agents and
suppliers, and we are ready to help you every step of the way.

the tropics. Use all the best quality modern
materials together with ancient local knowledge to effectively
maintain the natural environment. For example, our conical
