As I traveled south in October of 2004 (planning on being in Colombia within the week), I stumbled onto an amazing deserted beach and met 2 guys with whom I would end up building and owning las3palmeras. Over the past 2 years, las3palmeras has become one of the most popular travel spots in Central America, with travelers coming from all corners of the globe. You can see a little bit of the building process in the panama page of the travels section.
las3palmeras was sold in the summer of 2006, after two unpredictable yet unforgettable years.
