We study those groups that act properly discontinuously, cocompactly, and isometrically on CAT(0) spaces with isolated flats and the Relative Fellow Traveller Property. The groups in question include word hyperbolic CAT(0) groups as well as geometrically finite Kleinian groups and numerous 2-dimensional CAT(0) groups. For such a group we show that there is an intrinsic notion of a quasiconvex subgroup which is equivalent to the inclusion being a quasi-isometric embedding. We also show that the visual boundary of the CAT(0) space is actually an invariant of the group. More generally we show that each quasiconvex subgroup of such a group has a canonical limit set which is independent of the choice of overgroup. The main results in this article were established by Gromov and Short in the word hyperbolic setting and do not extend to arbitrary CAT(0) groups.
