Three generations · A century · Guatemala
We grow and process Guadua angustifolia and Dendrocalamus asper culms to export standard — the noble material architects and builders worldwide choose to build the future.
About us.
Family-owned farms that reached 100 years of proprietary family heritage in November 2025, located in San Antonio Suchitepéquez, 154 km from Guatemala City, Guatemala, Central America.
Until the 1980s, the farm produced coffee and fruits. Then rubber trees were planted instead, and in the year 2000 the first bamboo species were introduced.
The soil, rainfall and temperature proved ideal for bamboo production; the two main species, Guadua and Asper, developed and grew extraordinarily well.
The family legacy continues with the 3rd generation now in management. Our focus: keep improving the legacy with bamboo and rubber plantations to reach maximum potential, producing high-quality bamboo in harmony with environmental protection, our workers and surrounding neighborhoods.
The timber of this century.
Making bamboo the timber of this century — reaching international markets with bamboo culms of extraordinary quality.
The queen of American bamboo. Exceptional structural strength — the bamboo of architecture. Includes Guadua aff. takahashiae Londoño.
Giant Asian bamboo with large diameter and thick walls, ideal for structure and laminates.
American and native species grown on the farm, part of our collection and nursery since the year 2000.

EXW at the farm, FOB (Puerto Quetzal) or CIF, as agreed.
It varies with volume and harvest season; we confirm it in the quote.
Yes. Bamboo is treated (borax / boric acid) and export phytosanitary documentation is prepared.
We coordinate loads for 20' and 40' containers by species and length.

ShipmentThe process
A key step before treating bamboo is cutting only culms of proper age per species, or they won't hold through time.
+20 years of field experience
Our experienced staff, with over 20 years in the field, ensure correct maturity via visual indicators: color, branching, secondary growth of moss and lichen, and culm sheets.
Each culm is carefully handled, cleaned and perforated at the internal nodes to allow full-cane treatment.
Submerged in water with a solution of borax and boric acids. After 5 to 7 days the culms are taken out of the water.
The culms are left to dry under controlled conditions to the ideal moisture content, ready for transport and construction.
Our nursery
Being bamboo experts, we master the delicate and difficult work of propagating it. We've been growing and selling bamboo since 2000 to farms, sugar mills, the landscape industry, homeowners and many other customers.

Who we supply
Our plantation
As of today, our farms are the largest private bamboo plantation in Guatemala, 150 hectares in size. Main species: Guadua Angustifolia (110 ha) and Dendrocalamus Asper (25 ha); other species add another 15 ha. Finca El Marne and La Montaña — bamboo grown at scale, with the care of those who have worked this land for a century.

Legacy.
The family's story on the farm begins, devoted to coffee and fruit.
The farm transforms and, instead of coffee and fruit, rubber trees are planted.
The first bamboo species are introduced: nursery, propagation and the first Guadua and Asper plantations.
Fincas El Marne and La Montaña become the largest private bamboo plantation in Guatemala, 150 hectares.
In November, 100 years of family ownership, today under the third generation.
To bring our extraordinarily high-quality culms to international markets and make bamboo the timber of this century.

Commitment
We practice sustainable agriculture that unites yield, the wellbeing of our workers and responsibility to our community. Bamboo captures carbon and renews year after year — the right material for this century.
General bamboo facts.
We never stop learning
Workshops, conferences, private tours and much more…
We went to Colombia to expand and improve our bamboo knowledge with the best experts in the world.
Had a blast, thank you Colombia.
Exploring the sustainable and high-performing capabilities of bamboo. We learned the variety of building applications bamboo offers: from structural strength to warm aesthetic — interior design, flooring and much more.
Bamboo seems to have a solution for every problem.
In the foothills of Suchitepéquez, volcanic soil, rainfall and temperature created the ideal place for bamboo. Here Guadua reaches the sky in just a few years, forming dense, living groves.
Living material
Bamboo isn't an alternative — it's the future of building, and it grows here, in Guatemala.
