Picaflora Tropical Living focuses on land development and creation of second home residential communities in Central and South America. We are a boutique land developer (and we want to keep it that way) creating investment value for our clients along three themes: nature, architecture and culture.

Picaflora Tropical Living develops small, tasteful and architecturally distinctive projects in environments of pristine beauty allowing an immersive experience and meaningful interaction with local culture. We work with the lay of the land, the climate and local materials, always respectful of the environment and as eco-friendly as possible. In that sense our architecture is sustainable, open and tropical. Its inspiration comes from 3 continents: America (Pre Colombian First Nations), Africa (Afro-Brazilian and Caribbean culture) and Asia (Bali). Picaflora Tropical Living communities are thus locally and globally connected, more so of course with ubiquitous Internet access!

Our open learning communities also offer cultural, physical and spiritual activities, either through their amenities, common areas and services, the local communities in which they participate, or their naturally and culturally rich surrounding environments.


We also understand that the purchase of a second home is driven by passion. This is a language we know very well because we too are driven by passion, the passion of building gorgeous foundations under our clients' dreams!
