In this Panama Special Report, we bring you the Pacific coastal towns of Venao, Tonosi, and Cambutal.

This is a natural paradise, a region of Panama that boasts some of the best deep-sea fishing in the world, plus surfing, snorkeling, and scuba diving. Around Coiba lies the largest coral reef on the Pacific side of the Americas.

If you like outdoor activities, then this is a region ripe with opportunity to get out and explore.

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.

Panama could arguably be called the world’s best offshore haven. The country is the biggest international banking center in the region and is a U.S.-dollar jurisdiction, meaning stability and simplicity in your financial transactions. It’s the easiest and most advantaged place in the world to establish residency. The infrastructure is of a high standard and things generally work—the internet, cable TV, phone service, etc., are all nearly as reliable as anywhere in the States. The roadways and highway systems are being constantly expanded and improved.

Economically, Panama is one place in the world that’s enjoyed continued growth and prosperity—and is positioned for a whole lot more of the same over the coming decade. Plus, it’s one of the few Latin markets where it’s possible for you, as a foreigner, to borrow locally to buy real estate (although that’s become more difficult). And all of that translates into massive investment opportunities.

If you are in the market right now for a place to invest (or live, or retire, or do business) overseas, you’re doing yourself a big. We’ve been making the case for Panama for nearly 20 years now, and we’re more bullish on the opportunities and upsides on offer in the Hub of the Americas than ever before. In this Special Report, Live and Invest Overseas makes the case for Panama.
