Specific options for retiring In Panama:

4

Panama City

• Panama City has evolved over the past 20 years into a global business hub

• Panama’s capital is a competitive financial services center and a banking haven

• You can live in Panama City on much less than US$5,000 per month





5

City Beaches Area• Place where it’s possible to

embrace a luxury-standard lifestyle

• Coronado doesn’t make for an ideal get-away-from-it-all beach escape

• Other City Beaches spots, offer both five-star comfort and privacy at a fraction the cost of a fully appointed coastal good life





6

East Coast Of The Azuero Peninsula (Chitré, Las Tablas, And

Pedasí)

• The east coast of Panama’s Azuero Peninsulahas been attracting retirees for the past dozen years

• Remains an appealing option for a more rustic coastal lifestyle





7

West Coast Of The Azuero Peninsula (Mariato, Torio, And Los

Islotes)• The pioneer life isn’t without

challenges. Azuero’s western coast is remote and undeveloped; services can be unreliable, roads rutted

• The flip side of remote is private• This is not only one of the most

beautiful stretches of coastline in Panama but in the world, and both the fishing spots and the surf breaks just offshore are, likewise, world-class





8

Boquete

• Say “Panama” and “retirement” in the same sentence, and most listeners hear “Boquete.”

• The tiny mountain village of Boquete was targeted for development for the foreign retiree market by one gringo developer in particular named Sam Taliaferro





9

Santa Fe

• Santa Fe is Boquete before Sam Taliaferro

• It’s a lovely mountain village with a small local population and limited infrastructure and services, a beautiful, tranquil, picture-postcard highlands escape

• Life in Santa Fe could be simple, safe, and super-affordable - US $1,000 per month.
