Summary: The pros of living in Puerto Armuelles, Panama include its beautiful beaches, lush tropical rainforest, and vibrant culture. The cost of living is also relatively low, making it an attractive option for those looking to retire or relocate. Additionally, the city is close to the Panama Canal, providing easy access to the rest of the country. The cons of living in Puerto Armuelles include the lack of modern infrastructure and amenities, as well as limited job opportunities. Additionally, the city is prone to flooding during the rainy season, and the crime rate is higher than in other parts of the country. Finally, the language barrier can be a challenge for those who don't speak Spanish.

What are the pros and cons of living in Puerto Armuelles?

Expats, digital nomads and retirees living in Puerto Armuelles responded:

"Expats and digital nomads living in Puerto Armuelles enjoy the laid-back atmosphere and the friendly locals. They also appreciate the low cost of living and the abundance of outdoor activities. The beautiful beaches and the close proximity to other cities in Panama are also attractive features. On the other hand, some expats and digital nomads may find the lack of infrastructure and the slow internet connection to be drawbacks. Additionally, the limited nightlife and the lack of cultural activities may be a turn-off for some," said one expat in Puerto Armuelles.
