About Panama

Over the last five years, Panama has become a travel press darling as awareness of the country’s rich nature and culture, safety, stability and infrastructure has spread.

To the growing number of people choosing to live and vacation in Panama, the country’s quickly rising popularity comes as no surprise.  As The New York Times observed, parts of Panama are “undeniably first-world” and the country is “much more user friendly than other developing nations ” given that many people speak English; the United States dollar is the official currency; the drinking water is clean; the government is stable; there are good hotels and crime is low”.

For more information about living and visiting Panama, please visit PanamaInfo. PanamaInfo is an excellent resource, with more than 1,000 pages of information in both English and Spanish and 180 links to Panamanian tourism and international business related websites.
