I'd be curious to hear more about how you came to choose Panama and Boquete. Your blog leaps from a vacation to selling your home with no information in between. Thx carol
Hello, Thank you for the comment. I do have a post where I discuss this but essentially, being Canadian and watching the country become less so, we decided it was time for a change.
We have lived all across Canada and wanted to retire somewhere warm, being English we do not cope well with the heat and therefore Boquete, Panama was a solid solution for us.
There are other locations in Mexico and both Central and South America that offer cooler climates in the hills as well but when comparing the Visa options we settled on Panama and although Panama itself has other locations (El Valle de Anton, etc) we chose Boquete mostly because it was further afield from the 'Big City'.
The Blog post where I discuss all of this in more detail is here: https://theroguelesstravelled.blogspot.com/2025/09/receiving-our-temporary-residency-cards.html
If you have any other questions, please feel free to ask away...
