Volcán, Panama
Entering Volcán, certain adjectives come to mind: unassuming, peaceful, cool (as in “not hot”), welcoming… At this point you’ll have climbed 1,400 meters above sea level. Opening your car window, your senses will be assaulted and invigorated by the crisp, clean air.
Volcán sits on an ancient lava flow from Volcán Barú—the highest point in Panama at 3,475 meters.
Today, Volcán is a farming community and boasts some of the most fertile farmland in the country. This area provides at least 75% of the fruits, vegetables, meat, and milk for the country. Coffee plantations also play a major role in this area… Volcán’s soil, temperature, and high elevation provide the perfect conditions to make this crop a winner.
The infrastructure is excellent: uninterrupted electricity, potable tap water, and internet and cable are all readily available and reasonably priced.
If you crave the quiet life, whether for retirement, to raise a family, or to start a small business, Volcán will definitely fit the bill.

From April or May to December or so, Panama’s rainy season (also called the wet season) sets in. During this time—the majority of the year—you can safely expect a downpour per day. The rain may last mere minutes but, more often than not, the precipitation doesn’t let up for a couple of hours. After several months of no moisture in the dry season, though, the country is a dustbowl, so by the time the rains roll back in, many welcome the wet weather.
Early months, say, from April to August, may not see rain at all—but storms usually occur in the afternoon, and often the sun shines bountifully before and after. At the height of the season, though, November and December, say, you can almost set your watch by the thunderstorms, and entire days tend to be overcast. You might even see the occasional all-day storm during these months—a true rarity in the tropics.
By no means should you let the wet season rule your life—there’s no reason to hibernate for these overcast and unpredictable months. Wondering what all there is to do that won’t get rained out? This rainy season survival guide puts the best of Panama’s indoor opportunities at your fingertips…
