Panama City, the capital city of Panama is a world class city and the FINANCIAL HUB for Central and South America. Many major corporations are represented there. Tocumen is its major international airport. Panama City has world-class banks, theaters, art museums, five star hotels, malls, boulevards, restaurants, high class air conditioned apartments, beaches – but all at world class prices. That’s why most expats choose to live in mountain communities known for their pleasant year-round weather and low cost of living. Boquete is one of those mountain towns and a preferred destination for retiring expats because of its large expat population, English language theater, annual jazz festival and weekly town center market. Boquete is only 40 miles from David (population190,000) the third largest city of Panama – which has an international airport, good hospitals, shops of all kinds and is very close to the Pacific seashore.
