Earth Day with Islas Secas


Islas Secas has a commitment to sustainability and stewardship at the core of the facilities, infrastructure and operation, ensuring one of the most amazing eco escapes on earth, especially worthy of sharing on #earthday

  • 100% of energy consumption on island is powered by 300-meter long solar array

  • 100% of guest water use is captured and reclaimed through a system that includes constructed wetlands, sand filtration system and infrared light process to provide surface irrigation and reduce any impact on the ground water supply

  • 100% of food scraps are dehydrated and used for composting as fertilizer. There is zero waste

  • There are no single-use plastic water bottles and they are striving to eliminate all single-use plastic

  • Guest facilities were constructed with certified sustainable wood, while interior woods were pressure-treated with non-toxic boric acid. These high-quality materials and construction methods were used to maximize the life of facilities and to reduce the frequency of future rebuilds

  • The staff rotation schedule minimizes boat transport between Islas Secas & mainland Panama

  • Thousands of native trees have been planted to help restore the natural infrastructure and integrity of the islands

  • Every year they bring groups of local children from the mainland for field trips with visiting scientists to foster environmental education
