La Concepción, Panama

Not all are expat homes. The ethnic population of La Concepción is diverse, with Germans, English, Cubans, and Asians, just to name a few. This diversity is helping to lead La Concepción in a new direction.
The town has a reputation among expats as being safe. People watch out for one another, locals and expats alike. Even houses outside of town are secure, as neighbors know one another and are aware of their surroundings.
Many expats also enjoy the vibrant festival life of La Concepción. You can always find a parade, fair, or street party going on, celebrating one of Panama’s many holidays and traditions.
If you’re looking for a tropical climate without the heat of the beach, La Concepción delivers. If you want a lush garden with plants of every shape and color and maybe a horse farm for neighbors… La Concepción is your best bet in Panama.
