Baha Piñas is a remote area in Panama’s Darien Province. This special part of the world, which has no roads for 100 miles, is home to two worlds that could not be more different, but have become one in the same over the years.

The village of Piñas and Tropic Star Lodge have had a long-standing symbiotic relationship. The relationship grows stronger with each passing year, as does the opportunity to empower the community and protect the environment.

Tropic Star Lodge has relied on the people of Piñas to provide guests with unforgettable fishing experiences since its inception. Through training and experience, the humble village of Bahia Piñas has produced some of the world’s best fishing Captains and Mates, as well as many other key employees who have helped to make Tropic Star what it is today.

With your support, we will preserve this land, and lay the groundwork for foundations that will last for generations. This includes multi-phase community services and youth education initiatives, such as a Kindergarten school and numerous after-school programs for children of all ages, educational bursaries, community center building, soccer and sports fields, school, church, agricultural re-education, conservation education and initiatives, and more.
