Even so, why Panama?

Panama has consistently rated as one of the best places in the world to retire by International Living Magazine, Modern Maturity Magazine, Forbes Magazine, Conde Nast Traveler, and the American Association of Retired Persons (AARP). January 6, 2012, the New York Times wrote of must see places in the world, “ Panama is the number 1 place to go. Go for the Canal. Stay for everything else.”

Location:

Close proximity to the United States, Eastern Time Zone, with daily flights from all over the Western Hemisphere and Europe.

Infrastructure:

Considered the best in Central America with paved highways, airports, high speed internet, pure drinking water, and of course, the Panama Canal. The recent expansion of the Canal ensures the stability and economic growth of this unique country.

Excellent Medical care:

World renowned hospitals have trained Panama doctors and established hospitals and medical clinics in Panama. For example, the Johns Hopkins Medicine International Hospital Punta Pacifica in Panama City.

Low crime:

Compared to the United States and Latin America, Panama is one of the safest countries to travel throughout Central and South America.

U.S. Dollar:

The U.S. dollar is the official currency since 1903 when Panama became an independent nation. If you are a U.S. citizen there is no need to exchange currencies. Panama’s banking community offers many advantages to its account holders.

Commerce:

With a growing economy infused by its world class banking, the second largest Free Trade Zone in the world, first rate hotels & restaurants, and the best shopping malls in Latin America. Panama has a thriving economy.

Beautiful beaches:

1,000 islands, two oceans, valleys, mountains, jungles, tropical rainforests, lakes, rivers, and a bustling capital city in one tropically warm country.

Healthy environment:

The sanitary conditions are excellent in Panama. You can drink the tap water and never get the tourist “Montezuma’s Revenge” as you can in the rest of Latin America.
