Panama is quickly becoming the number one destination for eco-tourism as well as relocation to residential-tourism complexes.   Why is that?

The answer can be found in its fifteen hundred islands on both the Caribbean and Pacific coasts, in the planet’s most nature-rich, accessible rainforests, in its beautiful mountains and highlands, in its historical sites from a rich past, and in its cosmopolitan capital city with a non-stop nightlife. Sport fishing, diving, adventure, rafting, kayaking, birding, historic tours and nature treks are some of the activities that make Panama so attractive to tourists worldwide.

Among the most popular locations in the capital city is “Casco Viejo”, the 18th century capital, and the ruins of “Panama Viejo”, the colonial city ravaged by pirate attacks. The Panama Canal Miraflores Locks is home to the only restaurant in the world where you can dine in a terrace right beside the ships that transit the canal. The man-made Amador Causeway offers excellent restaurants and night clubs, as well as bicycling and strolling areas with an unrivaled view of the bay and the canal.

The countryside offers a wide variety of magnificent beaches on the Pacific coast and several resorts; the lovely Anton Valley located in the second largest volcano crater in the world; as well as the Chiriqui highlands and the mountain town of Boquete, favored by retirees from all around the world. On the Atlantic Coast you can visit the San Blas Islands where your hosts will be the Kuna Indians, the Caribbean beaches of Isla Grande or Bocas del Toro which also exhibits a spectacular cluster of islands. The Coiba and Darien National Parks are also unique in the continent.

RETIRE IN PANAMA
Panama is presently experiencing a surge in relocation and investment as a new generation of retirees looks for an alternative to the over-crowed, expensive tourist spots worldwide.

Our country, labeled as the most globalized country in Latin America, is fast becoming the number one choice for investors and retirees thanks to the low cost of living, advantageous incentives for the development of industries, a stable hurricane-free weather and a non-existent earthquake risk.

Special “Pensionado” (retiree) visas are granted to non-residents enabling them to receive income from abroad absolutely tax free. Retirees are also treated to discounts on restaurants, entertainment establishements, transportation and, most important of all, medical care, which has standards as high as those in the United States. Additionally, new buildings are exonerated of property tax for the first twenty years, and cars can also be imported tax-free. Even more so, unlike other countries, Panama entitles foreigners to the same property rights as its national citizens.
