ESCAPE TO PANAMÁ
Bienvenidos (Welcome!) to Escapetopanama.com!
This site contains general
information about buying real
estate, traveling and living in Panama,
but it is mainly focused on the Azuero Peninsula, especially the province of Los
Santos <see
Maps>. All the properties and things to do are in the Tonosí/Los
Santos
area of the coast, probably best known for Playa Venado and Pedasi.
The people of escapetopanama.com live here, not elsewhere. We hope you will enjoy
and be well served by this site.
The Lonely Planet guidebook says "If
you have ever said to yourself while traveling, 'I wish I had come here
back when…', then come to Panama now before it is discovered because it
soon will be." MM
magazine (with more than 20 million readers) recently named Panama "The
Number One retirement destination in the western hemisphere..." and
International Living says its the best in the world. Interested?
This web site offers information about buying real estate in Panama, properties
for sale in the Tonosi area, travel, interesting facts about
Panama, maps, a comparison of yesterday's destination, Costa Rica, with
today's destination, Panama, and links to other information on Panama. Scroll down this
page to get a brief synopsis of each.
BUYING REAL ESTATE:
Buying real estate in Panamá is safe. Your
rights as a foreigner are the same as a citizen. Whether you are
looking for a home, a lot on which to build, a vacation property,
development property or a
real
estate investment, this section will give you the information you need to
do it safely and wisely.
PROPERTIES:
We have beach lots, beach homes and large
beach parcels and much more, and all for great prices. Beach view
lots can cost as little as $32,000 for three quarters of an acre to a two
acre luxury home site for $45,000. You can build a quality 2200
square foot beach home for $77,000 which together with the lot can bring
you to about $109,000. If you are looking for a large investment or to
develop, we have large beach parcels ranging from 28 acres with over 500
meters of ocean front for $5.00/m2 to an 1150 acre all beach and ocean view parcel with
over 16,000 feet of beach front from $3.25/m2.
LIVING IN PANAMA:
Living in Panama can be a much better option than the
U.S., Europe or Canada. Your money goes much, much further.
The climate is great. You can afford to live like a king or
queen, with place on the beach, a maid, a boat in the water and a lot of
free time to relax and enjoy life.
FACTS
ABOUT PANAMA:
Here's a collection of valuable and interesting
facts about Panama including links to maps, weather and time information. Get a better idea of
what Panama is all about, get the facts. From population, government, religion, seasons,
time
zone, economy, holidays, electricity, currency, airport, business hours,

PANAMA
OR COSTA RICA?:
Costa Rica, Panama's well
known cousin to the west (not north as many think, see map below), is the
place most people think of when they think of vacationing, living or
investing in Central America. I lived in Costa Rica seven years and
it has it's good points but it can't even begin to compare to Panama.
I've lived in Panama six years now, and you couldn't get me to move back
to Costa Rica, no how, no way! What people are looking for in Costa Rica,
they find in Panama.
