"Puerto Armuelles is a small coastal town in Panama, located on the Pacific Ocean. It is known for its laid-back atmosphere and friendly locals. Expats should be aware that the town is quite isolated, with limited access to amenities and services. English is not widely spoken, so it is important to learn some Spanish before moving to Puerto Armuelles. The cost of living is relatively low, but the infrastructure is not as developed as in other parts of Panama. Expats should also be aware of the tropical climate, with high temperatures and humidity throughout the year," remarked another expat in Puerto Armuelles, Panama.
