The Finca Palma Dorada encompases an area of 35 hectares (86 acres) in the middle of the Ecuadorian Amazon region. Here, together with the indigenous people of the rainforest, we have managed to combine the sustainable production of cocoa for exclusive chocolate, the preservation of the jungle, commercial forestry, tourism and the cultivation of a variety of vegetables and tropical fruits.
The Finca Integral Palma Dorada is located in the municipality of Tuyano near Puerto Misahualli, Province of Napo in eastern Ecuador. The soil is characterized by an exceptionally high gold content of 250 millimeters per cubic meter (0.25 ppm) and includes areas with gold concentration in excess of 500 millimeters of gold per cubic meter (0.5 ppm).
We started operating on the Finca in 2016 as an alternative to gold mining in the region and to counter the exploitation of the environment and also to support local indigenous people.
