It’s interesting that most people around the world think of Panama as a flat land with a ditch running through the middle. If Panama were flat, the famous Panama Canal wouldn’t need locks. This country rises and falls as it rocks and rolls… and there’s a new kind of vacation fun around every corner.
For a country with an area not much larger than the state of South Carolina, Panama offers an incredible diversity of topography and adventures. The mountains in this amazing country are among the most verdant on earth, and the wonders and adventures awaiting you will become the stuff of great memories.
Panama’s best known mountain paradise is Boquete. You’ll find this eco-wonderland just a couple of hours from Panama City. The mountains surrounding Boquete are capped with lush rainforests and quaint coffee plantations. Sparkling rivers and streams carve their way through these mountains creating roaring waterfalls, whitewater adventures, and miles of relaxed tubing and swimming along the way.
Your days in Boquete will be filled with one reason after another to spend every minute outdoors. The best show in town is the area’s incredible mountain vistas. There are miles of well marked hiking trails to carry you safely in and out of the back country. Along the way you will find a mix of flora and fauna that will keep your camera’s shutter busy.
If your tastes run toward more active exploration try a different mode of transport into the jungle. There are lots of outfitters ready with mountain bikes, four wheel drive tours, horses for riding, and zip lines for gliding. This is mountain country so there’s as much fun to be had going up and down as out and back. You’ll find lots of climbing and rappelling opportunities here as well.
When planning your mountain adventure in Panama it is always a good idea to have a chat with a local travel professional. Why come this far without making the best of your time and treasure?
While in Panama why not look into some of the many ways you can fund your retirement here while vacationing in your younger years. Panama offers a wide range of investment, tax, banking, estate management, and real estate options designed to help you develop an off shore nest egg and a paid for retirement home while you enjoy years of vacation fun.
Did you know that when you retire to Panama, you will no longer have to pay taxes on income you earn outside of the country? If you buy your retirement home with the right guidance, you may not have to pay property taxes for up to 20 years either.
How would you like a low cost vacation home that pays for itself? When you buy property in one of Panama’s high demand “Condo-Tels” revenue from rentals while you are away can sometimes pay for your unit. By the time you reach retirement, your paid for resort condo will be waiting.
It is also important to remember that Panamanian law allows you to invest and bank in secrecy. The mechanisms that make this financial privacy possible have also produced one of the best estate management jurisdictions on earth.
If you are thinking about vacationing or retiring in Panama, or if you will be visiting to develop an asset protection, business, banking, or investment strategy… make sure to begin by building a strong relationship with a local attorney. There are many third party sources able to help you select the best one for your needs. These groups provide unbiased reviews of providers in Panama’s professional community speeding you to a successful pairing.
