"Expats and digital nomads living in Boquete enjoy the temperate climate, the stunning natural beauty of the area, and the friendly locals. They also appreciate the low cost of living, the abundance of outdoor activities, and the easy access to the rest of Panama. On the downside, some expats and digital nomads find the lack of infrastructure and the slow internet speeds to be a challenge. Additionally, the language barrier can be a problem for those who don't speak Spanish," said another expat in Boquete, Panama.
