Los Mangos del Río is a small farm development in Bijagual, Chiriquí, offering spacious properties surrounded by tropical vegetation, with access to the Papayal River and views toward Volcán Barú and the surrounding mountains.
The development consists of 10 private farm lots. Lots 1 and 2 are already sold, leaving eight properties currently available. Lots 3, 4 and 5 are riverfront, while Lots 6 through 10 are positioned on the second line.
Available properties range from approximately 1.92 to 2.73 hectares, with prices starting at $115,000. Owner financing options are available.
A shared community area with a swimming pool provides space for gatherings, BBQs, and time with neighbours, while the river adds another dimension to everyday life here.
THE LAND
The properties at Los Mangos del Río are designed around space, privacy, and connection to the surrounding countryside.
Rather than conventional residential lots, each property provides close to two hectares or more of land, leaving room for a home, gardens, small-scale agriculture, or simply maintaining a generous amount of green space around you.
Lots 3, 4 and 5 sit directly along the river, while Lots 6 through 10 form the second line of the development.
The landscape combines open areas, tropical vegetation, internal roads, and views toward the mountains and surrounding countryside.
THE RIVER
The Papayal River is one of the defining features of Los Mangos del Río.
In some sections, the river reaches depths of up to approximately three meters, creating natural swimming areas and deeper pools along its course.
The river is also still stocked with fish, adding another natural element to the property and reinforcing the connection between the development and its surrounding environment.
For the riverfront lots, the water becomes part of the property experience itself. For second-line owners, river access remains part of the broader community setting.

THE COMMUNITY
Los Mangos del Río is designed to offer privacy without complete isolation.
A shared community space provides an area for gatherings, BBQs, and use of the swimming pool, creating a central place where owners and guests can spend time together.
At the same time, the generous size of each individual property means that homes can remain surrounded by substantial private outdoor space.
WATER & INFRASTRUCTURE
The development includes water access and internal roads serving the individual properties.
Solar-generated electricity is available as an option, and prefabricated housing can also be arranged at additional cost for buyers looking for a more straightforward path to building.
Owners may also choose to develop their own home according to their plans and needs.
THE LOCATION
Los Mangos del Río is located near Bijagual, Chiriquí, surrounded by countryside and the Papayal River.
David is approximately 20 minutes away, providing convenient access to hospitals, shopping, schools, services, and the international airport.
The location makes it possible to live in a rural setting while remaining within easy reach of one of Chiriquí’s main cities.
Views toward Volcán Barú and the surrounding mountain range add another layer to the landscape.
THE LIFESTYLE
This is a different proposition from buying a conventional homesite.
Here, the land gives you room to decide what countryside living means to you.
Build a private home surrounded by tropical vegetation. Plant fruit trees or gardens. Keep enough land around you to preserve privacy. Walk down to the river for a swim in one of its natural pools, spend an afternoon fishing, or meet neighbours at the community area for a BBQ beside the pool.
The scale of the properties allows development without losing the sense of space that makes rural Chiriquí appealing in the first place.

THE OPPORTUNITY
Los Mangos del Río offers something increasingly difficult to find: substantial pieces of countryside close to David, with both riverfront and second-line options and enough land to create something genuinely private.
For buyers who want direct access to the Papayal River, Lots 3, 4 and 5 place the water at the edge of the property. For those looking for more land at a lower entry price, the second-line lots provide approximately 2.3 to 2.7 hectares starting at $115,000.
With existing roads, community amenities, river access, owner financing options, and only eight lots remaining, Los Mangos del Río provides a practical starting point for creating a home, small farm, or countryside retreat in Chiriquí.
