Unrealistic! It's no parking, bumper to bumper traffic most times! Shot during a holiday or quiet time. Very difficult walking thru town especially for seniors.

I have family over there

Great place, just wondering if something like that is possible for rental??

I LEARNED ABOUT CHIRIQUI ONE MONTH AGO: As I'm apt to do, I delved into researching the place as a destination for my upcoming retirement. I've traveled the world and I'm well aware that you do need to spend time in any place to really know what things are like. BUT, I also know that there is a lot of due diligence that can and MUST be done prior to planning that trip. In my case, I saw the issue of housing being central. Its cost and availability tend to set the pace for most other services and expenses, wherever you go. I must say, that after a month, I don't like what I see. This appears to be an early micro-version of the housing economy disruptions that have occurred in other hyped retirement destinations like Canada and New Zealand. In that scenario, Americans rush in, run up the prices of real estate, and this disrupts the housing economy. This eventually cascades into the other areas of the consumer economy. From everything I see online, land and housing prices all over Chiriqui are shooting up and out of control. Building lot prices are obscenely inflated, as are the prices of every class and size of home. Boquete is on an out of control trajectory. Even looking at ads for the outlying areas like Volcan, you can see the same trend occurring. Most disturbing is that I'm finding listings for newer, bigger, more U.S.-style homes that have been on the market for a while and are being price slashed. This suggests a lot of over-investment and buyer's remorse. At the same time, there are thousands of foreigners diving into this market now and this will only intensify the imbalance in the real estate economy. (I'm not even going to get into the number of slimy-looking real estate hawkers that are out there.) BOTTOM LINE: I don't doubt that the Chiriqui option is going to be good for many people and for those folks, I'm very happy. But, the reality seems to be that the prime period for finding cost effective real estate has peaked and is now in decline. This will eventually impact consumer prices elsewhere. Unless you want to live in a lower priced house with bars on the windows in David, where its much hotter, Chiriqui is probably not the best choice anymore. (I'm shifting my research to Medellin and Bogota, now.)

I love your videos and La Barqueta. Any chance you’ll make more videos about there and the real estate options? Thank you.

I went to your actual website. What is up with all the popups on your site? It might be the worst I've ever seen

❤Bienvenidos a Boquete❤

Volcan so feels like my ❤spot to be!

Perfect and quiet video. Really beautiful!

I'll bet it's hell to have a car breakdown on that road. Who do you call?

Your videos are great! The best for getting a real picture of the area. Question: You call this "A Walk" but from what I see, Boquete does not look very walkable. Few sidewalks, etc. Like so many others, I am interested in that area, but I must be able to walk without getting run over.

HOW MUCH did you pay for FURNITuRE rental per month ?

Funny that this city has an EN name

Thanks for this video it is very informative and well documented. We are considering moving to Panama from the US and this video has really help us to learn about this city. Thanks

Well done. Yes I immediately thought of Canadian Tire when I first visited Do-it-Center ( not centre). You are a great narrator. Thank you.

are there jewish people in david? kosher food?

Love the video!

The icr cream and the fonda food looks great

My greatgrandmothers house in margarita colon was just like this house 😊😊

In regards to renting; are condo fees included. Are the evenings and nights hot? Closest airport? BTW, Lovely video and David looks like a good place.

Great channel you have, very detailed and enjoyed much. Just subscribed, looking forward to other uploads as well. Thank you for your due diligence. My wife and I are looking forward to our return. We have close to 5 acres in Caldera but have not been back since 2019 wrapping up on a pension then running into several obstacles after the fact. Looking to depart no notice any day now for a short trip to renew our Cédulas, contract out on an addiction to our place etc then quickly return for logistics for our 2 dogs and their transportation down for our perminate move. Can you post the app ( s ) you meantioned i.e. Farmers market payments and believe the road maps if I remember correctly. The new Quantum financial system will throw the locals for a loop in learning as well. We learned our lesson the hard way renting cars at the airport in David, they will rip you off (twice for us) and will not return deposits if paying by credit cards. Rent downtown if anyone needs. Take care, blessings.

wow just what I would want, hope it's available when I'm ready to take the plunge to Panama!

Best series of videos ..really give you a great feel for each area. Are you from Calgary? Wondering if you find it very overcast, dreary and rainy in Panama? We are used to Calgary's 330 days of sun and not sure if we would be able to adjust.

Definitely beautiful. Exactly what I am looking for. Except looking for at the beach ⛱️.

We dedicate one of the shelves in the door of the refrigerator to storing spices. This saves them from clumping like a rock.

Thank you for sharing your experience and knowledge, the video is very informative and helpful, I was born and raised in David and I really appreciate your support and help, thank you 🙏

I really like your video because you actually took the time to show us around. The only part at 48 minutes in I didn’t appreciate is when you advised against buying or renting in “red zones” but then stopped short of explaining what that was. All I found a reference online to this term was something called “Panama Red” which is reefer. Is this where this is grown? Please don’t assume your audience knows theses references. Other than you not being forthcoming at this juncture, you’re doing a great job. Please keep up the good work!

It's pronounced. DAVID NOT DAVEED YOU BOZO

Love your video. There's powerlines above ground in Canada. Had to get used to it when I saw it...😅

Always been curious about this area. What are the gyms like in town?

I think that all that we need at the beginning of the video is the price, which I am guessing is over $800k.

For sale or for rent in Casco Viejo ???

We came to Panama last October and one thing we found that Panama didn't seem to have something that we enjoy back home was cream for coffee. We love our coffee with 18% cream. What choices do they actually have there for a use like this? We were only there one week so we were not sure if we missed something. Thx

I don’t want this video to end! Will be there in 2 weeks, this is such an insightful video 🫶

Extraordinario video mostrando la esencia de Boquete.! Muchas gracias por compartirlo. 👍

Was just there two months ago....and you showed some places i missed! Cant wait to get back there.

Thank you for sharing, we cannot wait for our house to sell to come and live there 😂

Thanks for sharing!!!😀😀😀

Oh boy, can't wait to come again and stay longer! Love this beautiful town. Miss it so much!

drone footage was superb!

This video is very well done. We plan on visiting later this year.

This is one of the best videos showcasing Boquete. I can’t wait to return and walk through the park area. Best paths I’ve seen for a town. It was great to have the businesses highlighted like you did Thank you for sharing ❤

Love the blue skies and weather. Laid back little place that Is home.

how close to beach ? are there other units available? thanks

Very nice!!

Is this unit wheelchair accessible

great video!!

so the other one was listed for 89k and this one is 115?

wow one of the few smaller places that I like. Most are huge and way over my budget.

Living area is very small.
