Retirement & Lifestyle, Panama, Get Started, Overseas Haven ReportsChitré, Panama | Overseas Haven Report
In this Overseas Haven Report, we bring you the city of Chitré, located in Panama’s Herrera Province.
Chitré is not just any sleepy old rural town and, in recent years, it has overtaken all of its neighbors and Chiriquí in terms of growth. According to the United Nations Development Program, it’s also a great place to live, enjoying Panama’s highest quality of life based on factors such as the education level of its population and life expectancy, measured in the Human Development Index.

Aguadulce, Panama
Many people only know Aguadulce as that annoying little town along the Pan-American Highway where traffic becomes congested… And it’s true—but it’s a misconception that traffic is all there is to this town. The other misconception is that Aguadulce’s only attraction is the Spanish-colonial architecture. There’s so much more…
Aguadulce’s history is mysterious… It was known as “la tierra de la sal y el azúcar” (the land of salt and sugar) during the late 18th century and was baptized as San Juan Bautista de Aguadulce around the same time.
The Aguadulceña community takes great pride in their cultural history and its importance to the country. The small town preserves several cultural landmarks that the now Ministry of Culture proclaimed important to Panama’s national heritage in 2017…
One is the Museum of Salt and Sugar, with its colonial architecture and canary yellow façade. For a nominal fee, you can look at pre-Colombian artifacts, historical documents, photographs, as well as the origins of the sugar industry. Another iconic building is the Eduardo Pedreschi Municipal Palace. Built in 1925, it’s named after the Italian architect who designed many of the important buildings in the city.
Currently, Aguadulce is restoring, improving, and repairing important city structures, with many visible renovation projects like Parque 19 de Octubre, directly across the street from the historic San Juan Bautista Church.
If you enjoy fresh air and sunshine (with some rain mixed in), Aguadulce is a great place to live, with an abundance of outdoor activities to do here… limited only by your imagination and abilities.

Retirement & Lifestyle, Panama, Panama Special Reports, Get StartedBoca Chica and Boca Brava, Panama
Boca Chica is a beach town found in southwestern Panama’s Chiriquí Province. Lapped by the life-rich waters of the Pacific Ocean, it’s famous for having some of the best beaches in Panama. Directly in front of Boca Chica is Boca Brava Island, a protected area that’s ideal for stand-up paddle boarding, kayaking, or anchoring your boat.
The real draw to this town are the two (free) municipal boat ramps that serve as the gateway to the surrounding islands and coral reefs which make up the Gulf of Chiriquí National Marine Park. Wildlife you might encounter here includes howler monkeys, tiger herons, green iguanas, hawksbill and leatherback turtles, hammerhead sharks, white-tipped reef sharks, manta rays, and dolphins. Humpback whales calve here from August to November.
This is an incredible place for boating, fishing, wildlife viewing, snorkeling, and scuba diving. Discover Boca Chica and Boca Brava in this Panama Special Report.

Panama’s Most Well-Known WILDLIFE HEROES
Retirement & Lifestyle, Panama, Panama Special Reports, Get StartedPanama’s Most Well-Known WILDLIFE HEROES
The fight many worldwide organizations are putting up against poaching, illegal pet trade, trophy hunting, etc., is crucial. Panamanian organizations have taken a stand in defending, and even actively rescuing, local fauna.
Some organizations are dedicated to research, others to educating communities (particularly children) about the importance of conservation, and other organizations are dedicated to rescuing and caring for certain species.
The Pan-American Conservation Association (APPC) was founded in 2005 by Nestor Correa. This NGO’s mission is to preserve and protect Panama’s incredibly rich biodiversity. From its foundation until now, APPC has recused over 5,000 wild animals including ocelots, a jaguar, alligators, and monkeys. Their main rescue, though, are sloths.
APPC moved its rescue center and headquarters to the Gamboa Rainforest Resort in 2014, and it inaugurated the first Sloth Sanctuary in Panama in 2017.
Ricardo Moreno, a Panamanian biologist passionate about creating coexistence between jaguars and people, is founder and president of Yaguará Panamá. The organization focuses on research through data collection on the number of felines passing through and living on the isthmus.
Yaguará Panamá monitors individuals of specific species using tracking collars.
It’s important to know that anyone can help the conservation cause. Any action you take, no matter how small you may think it is, makes a difference.
