The material
A living material, to international standard.
What began nearly a century ago as a coffee and fruit farm, and later rubber, is today one of Central America's most serious bamboo plantations. Since 2000 we have grown bamboo across two family farms — Finca El Marne and La Montaña — totaling 150 hectares.
Our focus is singular: the highest-quality culms, selected and treated by a team with over 20 years of field experience, ready for the world's most demanding markets.
Dendrocalamus asper
25 haGiant Asian bamboo with large diameter and thick walls, ideal for structure and laminates.

native & exoticBambusa, Gigantochloa, Phyllostachys aurea and more — collection and nursery since 2000.
Our plantation
150 hectares, two farms, one calling.
Finca El Marne and La Montaña — bamboo grown at scale, with the care of those who have worked this land for nearly a century.
The process
From living grove to treated culm, with decades of craft.
01
Age selection
Visual maturity check: color, branching and secondary growth (moss and lichen) — only culms at their peak.
02
Cleaning & perforation
Cleaning the culm and perforating internal nodes to allow full-cane treatment.
03
Borax immersion
Immersion in a borax and boric-acid solution for 5 to 7 days — natural, lasting preservation.
04
Drying
Controlled drying to the ideal moisture content, ready for transport and construction.
Bamboo, up close.
From plantation to export-ready culm — real material, real quality.
