| Panama Republic of Panama Most Dynamic Country in the World |
|
by A.K. Gutierrez A big statement indeed but I would bet on it to be true! I have traveled to many countries around the world from The Himalayas to South America, Europe to South Pacific and Panama is one of the most dynamic countries in the World. I mean where else in the world can you have breakfast in the Pacific, Lunch in the Atlantic and sip coffee for sunset in a volcan 5000 feet above seal level all in the same day. And that is possible without really exerting yourself to do it. In panama you can be strolling the streets of the historical Casco Viejo then take a ferry to Taboga Island for the day, come back to the city in the afternoon and be at a 5 star restaurant in the evening and then try your luck at one of many Casinos afterwards. That is a typical day for someone visiting Panama. I recently had a guest from San Francisco who spent 2 weeks in panama vacationing and afterwards it dawned on me that they had just been to 4 different islands (Taboga, Contadora, San Jose & Bocas del Toro), 3 different mountain ranges (El Valle, Boquete & Volcan), 2 Oceans (Atlantic & Pacific), several yachts, boats, horses, atv’s, motorcycles and few comuter planes and all within a short distance without stressing out. And yet, they still left without visiting The San Blas Islands, Isla Grande, Portobello, El Darien, The Embera Indians, Pedasi, Las Tablas and the list goes on. So what am I saying? Panama – like its name which means “abundance of fish” has an abundance of natural beautiful places to visit and indulge in. All in a friendly and inexpensive atmosphere. For anyone thinking of Panama as a travel destination, a new home, a second home, a place to retire or a place to invest do business and make money, Panama has an abundance of opportunity for everyone. Panama’s government has created many incentives for foreigners to conduct business, obtain business and become residents. That is why many Canadians are coming to Panama, people from all over the US and Europe have finally found Paradise. There are many resorts that are being built just to accommodate all the foreigners that are coming to live or invest in Panama. Just 30 minutes from Panama is Punta Chame a white sandy beach peninsula which is a haven for windsurfers and kite surfers is now going to become an area dotted with housing proyects and hotels and Casinos. Not far from there is a popular Panamamian weekend retreat Coronado Beach which has an 18 hole golf course and all the modern amenities, then there is Vista Mar located in San Carlos which has a 5 star restaurant, villas, 18 hole golf course all in a gated community. Other popular residential areas being built include Midpoint Panama in Penonome which is quickly becoming a very popular resort area, this resort will also have golf, in a nice and safe community. There is also La Pintada Estates in La Pintada, with its spectacular mountain views also very close to Penonome. And a recent addition is panamawaterfalls, a nice rural development located at the entrance to El Valle. These an many other proyects to come will make living in Panama a much more attractive destination and playground for people of all ages from all walks of life. Panama is not just a journey it’s a Destination!
