Boquete, Panama
What do I need to know before moving to Boquete?
When we asked people what advice they would give someone preparing to move to Boquete, they said...
"HIRE a local attorney before getting or signing anything. We did so and VERY happy that we did . Do not believe or trust anyone. There are many "reject" Gringos there trying to make a buck and Panamanian law works SLOWLY," said another expat in Boquete, Panama.
"We visited here many times before moving and stayed in different areas each time. There are 13 micro-climates here and they vary greatly. Some roads are not good so that may play into housing decisions too. Temperatures vary, even 5 minutes away can make a big difference. There are also areas that get extremely windy in Jan-Feb. Rent before buying," wrote a member who made the move to Boquete, Panama.
