Living in Panama: Pedasi

Pedasi is a small fishing village at the south-east tip of the Azuero Peninsula. It has a small population of about 2,000 people and is one of the most beautiful places in all of Panama. If you are considering moving to Panama, listen to the Panamanian government about where you should live!

The government of Panama is making significant investments in this small town. They even promote it as the top tourist destination, second home location, and place to retire in Panama. If their word isn’t good enough, maybe you should just take a look around town. There is major construction on a brand new modern hospital. A new airport is being constructed along with highway expansion, and even a new luxury resort hotel planned by Sheraton Panama City Hotel.

Andromeda Ocean Estates is only a kilometer from this amazingly charming little town. It’s got stunning views and with just a few steps to the little village of Pedasi, this is a great relaxation spot!

Pedasi looks over the great beaches of Playa Garita and Playa El Toro where you can enjoy great sports or just dipping your toes in the sand.

With all of these improvements and government interest, this is definitely the top spot to visit in Panama.

Live Well Spend Less in Panama

February 6th, 2012 | Posted by KristinG in Living in Panama - (0 Comments)

There are a lot of folks in the United States that, while excited about retiring, are not unaware of the pressing economic issues facing the country. They worry that the amount of money that they have saved up will not be enough to carry them through their retirement. This is a just and normal fear. With the prices of food, clothes, shelter, medications and other healthcare on the rise, it is possible that no matter how much you have saved, it will run out.

This is why many of the nation’s retirees are considering moving to Panama instead of places like Florida or California. The cost of living in Panama is remarkably low. It is possible for a couple to live in a large three bedroom apartment, or some other piece of prime Panama real estate, for a mere $1,400 per month. But that’s not only the price of the apartment; it’s the entire budget for the month!

This includes dining out with friends at restaurants on a regular basis, the enjoyment of fine wine and food, making use of the recreational activities across the country such as fishing, scuba diving, and swimming, and it also includes the price of doctors visits, health care and the like.

With a price like that, how could you move anywhere else?

Living In Panama, On the Ocean

January 9th, 2012 | Posted by daniela in Living in Panama - (0 Comments)

Living in Panama means you can reap the benefits of bathing on the beach.The salt is good for your hair and skin, it sloughs the dead stuff off and rejuvenates you to feel alive. The sun offers Vitamin D and natural happiness; it’s what humans are supposed to expose themselves to every day for about 20 minutes. After that, put on some sunscreen. You don’t want to overdo it.

Plus swimming in the ocean is a good way to get daily exercise — bobbing in the waves isn’t easy and swimming in general is a great form of cardiovascular training. And the beauty of the Gulf of Panama with its palm trees and sweet-smelling breezes; its teal waves and languid white sands — it’s all so paradisaical.

And it’s never too cold or hot. The daily temperatures usually range from 75 to 90 degrees, which means it’s always the perfect weather for a dip. It’s especially nice when your Panama real estate is right on the beach so that you can claim and familiarize yourself with a special swatch of sand where you lay your towel and sandals every day.

If all this sounds like a dream, it doesn’t have to be — look into moving to Panama today.

Why Living In Panama Is Easier

January 2nd, 2012 | Posted by daniela in Living in Panama - (0 Comments)

Panama is a special place. The Panama Canal is a large reason for Panama’s economic success; 77% of their GDP comes from their service sector, of which the canal and all of its container ports, flagship fees and tourism form a large part.

Such a successful economy means that living in Panama is easier than living in a country such as Bolivia, which is the poorest South American country, and one of the more dangerous besides.

Plus tax and price discounts for moving to Panama exist as incentives, and the parity between the American dollar and the balboa, the Panamanian currency, make it so that dollars are easily traded and used. Living in Panama is a lot like living in a more tropical, less traditional part of the United States.

Why wouldn’t you choose Panama retirement? The alternative, retirement in a typical American suburb, is so boring, repetitious and blase; while the former provides opportunities for adventure and tranquility different from the traditional Florida retirement experience.

The beaches in Central America, Panama particularly, are some of the world’s best. Clean white beaches, turquoise waters and island breezes blowing over the sea provide an ideal retirement setting. What more could you ask for?

Your Diet in Panama

December 27th, 2011 | Posted by KristinG in Living in Panama - (0 Comments)

One thing that a lot of people forget about when moving to a foreign country to live is that their diet is going to change dramatically. This is a potential problem for picky eaters and for those who have dietary needs for their health. But when moving to Panama, this is less of a trial and tribulation than moving to other countries.

When you first go out to a restaurant in Panama, the one thing you might notice is the lack of fresh fruit on the menu. While it is true that fruit is plentiful and delicious in Panama, it is not served as readily or as often in restaurants here when compared to other countries. However, that doesn’t mean that fruit is not available here. On the contrary, fruit is readily sold in carts in marketplaces, on the beaches, and even along side the road. As long as you wash it before consuming, it is a great source of nutrition and you can get a small thrill from eating locally.

Living in Panama will also provide you with a lot more fish in your diet than you might have previously had. Shrimp, corvina (a fish found in this region), and ceviche are all staples of Panamanian cuisine.
