Edith is living the dream. An eloquent ambassador for Pedasi and PRT! As a PRT alum, I am more and more impressed by what I learn about the Azuero peninsula and what it has to offer. Pedasi sounds like a really nice community. Hoping to return to Panama soon. Thank you for this interview.

What’s the year round temperature range? Is there a breeze in that area?

@@MAMIEHOLT-bk8ib In the daytime, low 90s to mid 80s. It’s in the 70s in the evening, and yes, we have lovely warm breezes. For some, it may be too warm, that’s why it’s a good idea to visit and see if Pedasi is right for you.

What did you think of Coronado & Panama city? Coronado, Pedasi, Panama City, & Boquete were my choices when I move 2025.

[@theethergoddess]

​@@Nicole-zk6nk Coronado has too much drama...I don't like the gossip and back biting I witnessed...I avoid drama...I thrive off of peace and good vibes. Panama City is a concrete jungle. I can go home for that. I came to this country for the beauty....I can't wait to get back to the serenity of the beach and small town life.

Big ocean to wade in daily to cool off

[@anniesshenanigans3815]

@@Jammer411 true but in reality you have to get to the ocean first. If you live in town, walking to the many stores or restaurants can be difficult. Living right on the ocean would be ideal.

[@anniesshenanigans3815]

@@Jammer411 when I visited in 2021, the people we went to see near Pedasi had a house on the Ocean and two rentals on their property. Cute, tranquil and only about 400 a month at that time, and building another one. I would LOVE to live in the downstairs one right by the pool. But the other part is that you have to have a car to live there, it's out of town a ways.

[@edithst-hilaire3824]

It is hot here, which is why I had to have a pool for cooling down on those hot days. But, I got acclimated pretty quickly, to the point where I don’t need AC… ceiling fans and cross breezes are perfect for me. But, the warmth is not for everyone.

[@Nicole-zk6nk]

Peace Edi, I'm a USAF vet that wants to explore the Pensionado Program. Do you suggest that?

[@edithst-hilaire3824]

The Pensionado program in Panama is one of the best retirement programs in the world. To qualify, you must have verifiable minimum monthly income of US$1000.00 from a government program or private corporation. This could be Social Security or another government retirement fund, such as military, state retirement, police pension, etc., or retirement from a private corporation. For your spouse or minor children, your minimum income must be increased by US$250.00 per month per dependent.

[@pathkris2984]

How much is real estate tax and insurance for your home? Trying to assess if it would be affordable. Thank you for the great video and providing all information upfront that will help a lot of people.

[@edithst-hilaire3824]

Property taxes and homeowners insurance are relatively low in Panama. Property taxes are about 1% of the registered value of the property. Insurance for my home is about $400 annually.

What is the humidity like in Pedasi? Hopefully way less than in Panama City I hope?

[@edithst-hilaire3824]

Pedasi is in the Azuero Peninsula. It’s the “Arco Seco” or dry arch. This area experiences minimal rainfall compared to Panama City and other areas in Panama.

[@theglobalvagabond3074]

It takes me 5minutes to Home Depot, 7 Minutes to Wholefoods, 10 minutes to 4 different Walmarts and Target. Dozens of coffee shops, large malls, museums galore. It would take a long time to get used to not having near immediate services. Nice looking place though.

Hi, I would like to know why your pets are so costly. I have a dog and two cats, but $500 in Europe would be insane. Is it normal in Panama, or do you buy special things for them?

[@edithst-hilaire3824]

That’s a great question. We make special food for our pets and that can be costly. However, many pet owners choose to simply purchase kibble and that’s a lot more cost effective.
