Panamá City Travel Forum

I have recently read that Panama is the current hot spot for American retirees. I would love to hear from you if you are one of those who have made the move there.

And if you are a native resident or a traveler, feed back on which city I should visit for a week or so to see if it would appeal to me enough to move there would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Francesca

Thanks, I will definitely check it out.

I visited Panama last October and (even though I usually avoid the typical tourist areas) I did find Boquete the most relaxing place I went. I stayed at a nice guest house for only $6.25 per night. There is a don't-miss hike across the mountains just outside of Boquete that is gorgeous. (You'll be thankful you brought your trekking poles for this one!)

Bocas was OK, but there are a lot or partying young people there. I personally didn't find it very pretty, but the atmosphere was relaxed.

The prettiest area I saw was on the bus crossing over from Sixaolo to Volcan. That area was beautiful.

Have a nice trip!
