Right from the time we started looking
at Panama as an option to Mexico as a
place to retire we read lots of articles
with a common theme - Why Panama. Here
are a few. If you read them you will
find, like us, there are some pretty
compelling reasons to choose Panama. As
a caution, remember, these folks have a
vested interest in you choosing Panama
and some of the articles put a very
positive light on the "benefits".
Caveat Emptor -- we've not used the
services of these sites or people so we
don't list them as recommendations -
just sites to read more on the question
-- "why panama"
Be part of a bold new village. An
intersection of visionary thinking and
timeless tradition. A place where the
spirit is awakened, the soul is touched,
and the future embraces what the past
has taught. It is called Kalu Yala. It
is coming to life in the rainforest
highlands of Central Panama.
