Casco Viejo is beautiful! And, yes, stay away from Chorrillo. Even Panamanians who don't live in the area stay away. My husband's (who is Panamanian) cousin drives a taxi in that area and I have seen the bullet holes in his car and heard the ... Read More

Why we really left Boquete... by AuntieFlo

It's my turn to write about what happened. It is helping me to deal with the anger and the loss. We had such high hopes when we came to Panama. We wanted to live simpler, lower-cost lives. We also hoped to build something here, something that would ...

American °µÍø½ûÇøs in Panama by geve

Hi, I am considering retiring to Panama. Looking for informations about costs, climate, medical care, lifestyle. Could anyone please write me with some information. Would consider a short visit there to assess the possibilities. Any help or ...

I would say gorgona would be your best bet. It is fairly remote, but is quickly becoming an °µÍø½ûÇø hot spot. If seclusion is what you want, Panama City is out of the question. Although beautiful in its own way, it is very crowded. To answer your ... Read More
