What do I need to know before moving to Volcan?
When we asked people what advice they would give someone preparing to move to Volcan, they said...
"Volcan is a small town located in the Chiriqui province, known for its cool climate and beautiful natural surroundings. Before moving to Volcan, expats should know that the primary language spoken is Spanish, so it would be beneficial to learn the language or at least basic phrases. The cost of living in Volcan is relatively low compared to many Western countries, but it's important to budget for unexpected expenses. Healthcare facilities are available but may not be as advanced as in larger cities, so it's advisable to have a comprehensive health insurance plan. The town has a slow pace of life, which can be a significant change for those used to living in bustling cities. The local cuisine is a mix of traditional Panamanian food and international dishes, with fresh fruits and vegetables readily available due to the town's location in Panama's "breadbasket". Public transportation is limited, so having a personal vehicle can be beneficial. The weather in Volcan is cooler than in other parts of Panama, with temperatures rarely exceeding 80 degrees Fahrenheit, so pack accordingly. The town is safe with a low crime rate, but like anywhere, it's important to take basic safety precautions. Finally, it's crucial to understand and respect the local customs and traditions to integrate well into the community," mentioned another expat when asked about moving to Volcan, Panama.
