You forgot the bugs. I am constantly amazed by the amount and variety of insects down here in Panama. I see new ones I ve neve never seen before every other day. Chitras, often known as no seeums, are nearly a deal breaker depending on where you are located and their severity. And you didn't mention the bland cuisine. Culinary delights are quite rare in my experience. Chicken, rice, beans, lettuce and tomatoe salad are usually the normal everyday fare... The people are satisfied which is fine, but don't expect good or interesting food in most towns

@@jimbolast1313 In what areas are the chitras less? Those nearly are me alive in Iraq until I found locals using olive oil soap with laurel in it. After I started using that soap less bites. Alleppo soap. Check label for palm oil. If it has palm oil pick one with all olive oil. Palm oil one doesn't work as well but manufacturers use it because cheaper.

@@happycook6737 Thanks, I will look for Aleppo soap if that is available anywhere here, especially with the olive oil. As to your question about chitras, I find in the major cities they don't seem to be as bad ...but in the countryside and the beaches... they can be a real downer. Their bites are intensely itchy. If you scratch them they become ten times as itchy. If you scratch them again, they are even 10 times itchier than the 10 times itchier that they were before.

Thanks for the video. You did an excellent job. My husband and I took Jackie's tour March 2020. We moved here October 2020 to Chitre, Panama. Our neighbors are wonderful. We have hot water. Internet is fast. The food is delicioso; we've added lots more fruit to our diet --papaya, pineapple, plantains, watermelon, bananas, and mangoes. Our neighbor shares fresh produce weekly--peppers, plaintains, bananas, yuca, or limes. He just drops them off to our patio table. Once he gave us half a pumpkin🙂. We have had only two very short power outages. We are currently taking Skype Spanish lessons twice a week. Now, each time we go out we're more confident at restaurants, stores, and talking to neighbors. Everything you talked about is exactly how it is. Also, with the patience one needs , especially at the beginning of moving here, there is EXHILARATION in waking up in such a beautiful place every day!

My husband has been talking a LOT about retiring to Panama. You set the record straight by giving the cons and we really appreciate that. IF you answer questions, I'd like to ask a few... 1) what is the firearm policy? are we allowed to bring ours for protection? and if so, how many? 2) how do you find homes to buy/rent. I mean where do you start to look (that I can ask the questions you informed us about, electricity, internet, water, hot water, etc. 3) We have passports, but do we need visas? or what to move there? 4) do you suggest living closer to big city for conveniences (internet, hot water, electricity, etc) or countryside for beauty (in your opinion) 5) can we ship out car there? or is it cheaper/better to purchase there?

Thanks for your interest in Panama Relocation Tours. Answers below 1) what is the firearm policy? are we allowed to bring ours for protection? and if so, how many? You cannot ship your firearms into Panama. Once you get a permanent visa, you can get a gun permit in Panama and buy a gun in Panama. 2) how do you find homes to buy/rent. I mean where do you start to look (that I can ask the questions you informed us about, electricity, internet, water, hot water, etc. We have a list of honest real estate agents in the Complete Panama Relocation Guide. They can help you find a rental. panamarelocationtours.com/guide 3) We have passports, but do we need visas? or what to move there? You only need a valid passport to visit Panama. To live in Panama, you need to get a residency Visa. If you're retired, the Pensionado Visa is best. Plus you get a LOT of discounts too. 4) do you suggest living closer to big city for conveniences (internet, hot water, electricity, etc) or countryside for beauty (in your opinion) no. You'll have internet, hot water and electricity throughout Panama 5) can we ship out car there? or is it cheaper/better to purchase there? It's better, and cheaper, to buy a car in Panama.

This is THE best and most important video on what Panama is really like. I was critiquing the fact that there's a tendency to present the country as idyllic. It is absolutely not! I was born in the former Canal Zone, so I know Panama well. It's hot, humid, dirty, and lacking massively in infrastructure. The power outages, no hot water, all the things you mentioned indeed occur and often. That said, it does have amazing flora and fauna, wonderful produce, cheap healthcare but of excellent quality, the people are wonderful.The weather is better and the towns are cleaner in the interior such as El Valle, Coronado, CERRO AZUL, etc. So THANK you for an honest representation of this place!

As an expat with 10 years in Panama I find your information extremely useful and forthright. We moved here in early retirement mainly to enjoy nature as birdwatchers. And the climate in the mountains is year around comfortable. Always 65-85 degrees. We live in Los Altos de Cerro Azul which is often overlooked. The humidity is higher here than elsewhere and takes getting used to. The house requires more maintenance as a result, for example. Thanks for the video and kudos to your first-rate presenter. You could put her in a more pleasing location. ;)

I advise to make multiple trips to Panama before moving for good... Many expats leave after an amount of time... Try a condo resort then maybe boquette or coronado... Pedasi is nice... What is nice for me may horrible for you... Plan trips to stay in area for a week as an example... Meet as many Panamanians as possible... Panama is unique there are thousand of Panamanians who migrated to the United states for University and work... Now these same Panamanians have retired and moved back to Panama.. They have a good understanding of what people from the States are used to and can provide a bridge on how to adapt to Panama... fyi hot water adapters can be installed... Hire a lawyer they will do the paperwork for cars, license and housing... If your not good with learning languages pick a place like Clayton or Brisas Norte... Lastly the best Hospitals are in Panama City area...

Lots of interesting things to see and do, if you go, get out of PC and head to the small cities and towns, very nice people there and less hustle and bustle than PC.

The hot water inconvenience is typical of most countries in the Caribbean and Latin America. However, she should have also informed you that most middle class households, upper class, and condominiums have installed "water heaters" which take care of that inconvenience. Believe me, nobody, unless you're poor, takes cold showers. How do I know? Because I grew up in the Caribbean 60's, 70's, 80's (yes, that long ago) and we had water heaters. Also, there are water pumps and external "cisternas" (a built in inground tank) that can be filled in with water, delivered by a truck, so you always have a secured water supply. That is how it used to be 50 years ago in the capital, single residential homes in good neighborhoods. Nowadyas, you won't face those problems if you move into a modern condominium, apartment building or good residential area in the city. This scenario doesn't apply in rural and remote areas unless you rent or purchase a modern constructed house/apt, catering to a more sophisticated market. But in general, there are ready solutions for those inconveniences, and people install whatever is needed and move on to live a relaxed and happy life for a fraction of the cost and stress in USA.

Great video. Love the honesty. Its an adventure, that is why you move there. Retiring in five years, will rent there for a few months as a 'test drive', then decide. Thank you for the info.

Very useful tips. I would rather know what I'm getting into than be shocked or surprised and ready to move out at the first sign of a problem. Thank you so much! Each and every area I've lived in from Iowa to CA state to WA state have had adverse problems. I think this is so important as to keeping it real! Thank you!

The information was very timely and accurate. I have been to Panama once so far, and the list is so true. I will be returning in July to pick a place to live and all the questions have just been added to my list of things to ask. Thank you very much!😀
