What do I need to know before retiring in Boquete?

"Expats considering retiring in Boquete should be aware that the cost of living is relatively low compared to other countries, but it is still important to budget carefully. Boquete is a small town, so it is important to research the local amenities and services available before making the move. The climate in Boquete is generally mild and pleasant, but it is important to be aware of the rainy season and the potential for flooding. Additionally, it is important to research the local healthcare system and the availability of medical services in the area. Finally, it is important to research the local laws and regulations regarding residency and visas," remarked another expat in Boquete, Panama.

"Come and visit! I guarantee it is nothing like where you live. The culture is very different than the US and the systems and structures can sometimes make no sense at all. If you can't roll with things when they go wrong or get frustrating, it may not be for you," said a member in Boquete, Panama.
