History & Vision
A 100-Year Legacy
Just a few steps from us rests an old dam built in 1925, a silent witness to Boquete’s first hydroelectric efforts. For decades, this stone wall stood as a symbol of ingenuity and self-sufficiency.
In 2001, visionary Sam Taliaferro imagined reviving this energy. Today, that vision is reborn not just as a power source, but as “The Wheel of Life”: a hydraulic water wheel built to honor the past, but designed to inspire the present.

"This too shall pass"
It tells you: hold on a little longer. Breathe. Don’t make decisions from the abyss.
Return to your center. What feels heavy today won’t weigh the same forever. But when everything is going well, “this too shall pass” teaches you humility: don’t cling, don’t believe yourself invincible—be grateful, because life changes.
