You did fail to mention that flights out of Panama are somewhere between 70-120% more expensive than flights out of Costa Rica. Minus 1 from Panama and plus 1 to Costa Rica.

7:34 it's mentioned that the population of San José, Costa Rica, is 340,000, but it's actually 1.482 million. Also, Costa Rica's weather is better as it's not as humid as Panama. This video seems a bit biased and somewhat misinforming. However, she does make good points. In the end, Panama is a better choice if cost is a concern, but if you're financially comfortable, Costa Rica is the better option. That said, if you prefer big city life, Panama wins. For country life Costa Rica wins.

Agreed. We retired in CR almost 4 years ago and never regretted it!! We chose CR over Panama.

Thank you for your comments. We always try to be as factual as possible. We just double checked, and according to Wikipedia, at the last Census there was a population of 350,535 in San Jose CITY. However, in San Jose PROVINCE there was a population of 1.34 million. Since Costa Rica has grown since the last census, I'm sure your number is accurate for San Jose province as of 2024. Here is our source: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographics_of_Costa_Rica If you have a different source, please share, as again, we try to be as factual as possible.

hi, excelent video, I am a retired military from USA, pensioner from USA, born in Costa Rica, living in Costa Rica now. Defenitly, Panama has the upper hand against Costa Rica, the only drew back for me is the hot weather in Panama. Here in Costa Rica, I do not have any issues with most of legal tgings, becouse I am costarican citizen, however, This is a very expesnive country in general...I am thinking to move to Panama or Medellin, Colombia. Can you make a video that shows wich country is better, Panama o Medellin,Colombia Thanks

Melissa don’t forget a big one. Is Costa Rica your day ends at 5:30pm, totally night time by then. And the sun comes up before 6am. It does at the same time but they’re an hour behind so it’s nuts having your days ending so quickly. I didn’t like it. It has its charm Costa Rica with its people but it is a more socialized country than Cuba. It’s not communist, don’t get me wrong. But for example, their local products, like our estrella Azul or whatever, its more expensive over there 🇨🇷 than over here 🇵🇦. That is nuts. In regards to the health care system, Panama has the best ranked hospital all the way fro. Central America to the Caribbean and Mexico. The Pacifica Salud Johns Hopkins hospital ranked top #1 in the region. Top 7 in Latin America. 👌

@truthseeker9454 16 күн бұрын

I disagree. I visited SE Asia and Panama last year. SE Asia is cheaper, but: *Much longer flight from US than Central America (18 hours +/- vs 8 hours nonstop). *Long term visa is more expensive and immigration is more complex. Thailand's government changes rules frequently. *Cannot safely drink tap water (So what are they washing your food in?). *Hot water on tap is not common. *Wet baths are very common. Do you like showering with your toilet? *Sex trade is even more common, with associated crime and scams. *Drive on left side of road. (And driving is a high risk undertaking, Thailand's traffic death rate is roughly twice as high as Panama's.) *Currency exchange is an issue. (Panama uses the US dollar, no exchange to bother with.) *English is more common than some parts of Central America, but Spanish is MUCH easier to learn than any SE Asian language. *Burning season. Enough said. *Tropical storms/earthquakes/tsunamis - none are issues in Panama. *Proximity to China, with related geopolitical tensions - possibility of war. Several Central American countries don't even have militaries. No place on this Earth is perfect, but IMO Panama is a much better value than SE Asia, all things considered.

Not interested in any of those countries where Spanish is needed ! --- Rules out most all of Central - and S America. Many US expats don't really speak Spanish and it is an isolating element with business signs menus and the like ? More English is spoken in much of Europe and S E Asia - than in the Americas ! (go figure - halfway around the world even) --- US expats can enjoy up to 70% lower cost of living in the Philippines (!) depending on lifestyle and location.
