Panama Travel, Business and Living Guide

When you travel for pleasure or business, a lot of web sites tell you about hotels, tours, the weather, and maybe restaurants. But they don’t give you the insider’s view ... the facts, along with the features, of your destination. You deserve to have the full picture, especially if you’re thinking about starting a business, retiring, or investing in one of the world’s most important emerging nations.

Panama is a multicultural country where most people speak some English, and the US dollar is the currency of choice. Its diverse typography ranges from pastoral valleys you’d expect to find in Switzerland, to tiny palm covered islands, to golden sand beaches, to mountain jungles, to the sophisticated international business and banking center of Panama City.

With many years of first hand experience in Panama, we can now share with you everything you need to know about business and retirement regulations (they’re some of the friendliest in the world), visas and residency, legal and banking services, property availability, lifestyle questions, transportation, a brief history ... and, of course, hotels, tours, the weather, restaurants, sports, activities, museums and attractions.

VIVA PANAMA, An Insider’s Guide to Life and Travel, explores the country unlike any tourist ever will. You’ll want to visit our site regularly for breaking news, updated offers, and coverage you can trust.
