oldsalt1942If you're making it to Los Molinos from David in 20 minutes you must be speeding like crazy. It takes at LEAST TWICE that long on a good day without any "Transitos" stopping everyone around Los Anastacios.
AliRichardsThis is a great article but I am taking it all with a grain of salt when I read that the author works for International Living and seems to be profit motivated. I wish someone would write an article without this type of motivation. The end of this is followed up with the real estate company you can contact. It all sounds like one giant advertisement. Anyone living in Boquette or the other areas mentioned have any thoughts about living there without mentioning a real estate ad at the end of the article? Is Boquete still thriving? What's the crime like? What's the ex-pat community like? The medical care? The climate? The flora and fauna???? Has it been over run with gringos or is there a good balance between ticos and gringos? These would be very helpful insights if anyone has any. Thanks in advance. Ali
guestWhen were these prices calculated? They seem quite low!
duffbobLOL, have to agree with you after spending the month of March driving through-out Panama. Prices are higher than International loving and the cost of living is much higher than what they quote. If you eat locally grow food it very inexpensive. But you want artisan breads etc. it costs $$ so much more. A tube of Maybelline Mascara is $16.00. Be sure to visit and check out the costs of everything that is important to you.
