Panama

Panama is also a true birdwatcher's paradise. The coloured parrots are especially delightful. In this country, animal friends come free of charge. You can observe the amusing monkeys leaping from tree to tree, or watch wildcats like Jaguars and Ocelots. It is like being in a gigantic safari park, but much more natural and free. Why have a farm holiday in Europe when you can have all that – and more – in Panama?
Direct flights to Panama are cheap, and there are last minute booking possibilities also. You can also fly to Costa Rica, and then take the comfortable bus to David (Boquete). In David you will find very clean and comfortable Hotels, cheap Hostels or B&B accommodations. For only $2, you can continue by bus to the lovely and famous mountain town of Boquete. There you will find also some nice and friendly Hostels and other accommodation.  

Naturally, we would be happy to welcome you to our B&B (hostel) "La Casa Romantico" in Alto Boquete, www.la-casa-romantico.com. Here you will be in peace and quiet and surrounded by magnificent views. Breakfast on the pretty terrace is a great experience. You will be our guests in a house with friendly and welcoming hospitality! From David, you can go by bus to Bocas del Toro for only $7  and for $2 you can continue to see the sights of Boquete.ONLY for 11$ you can travel to Panama City in a comfortable long distance bus with climatization and TV equiped.

I have lived myself 16 years in the South of France where I owned a small Hotel "Deluxe". I really loved this country. But, if I have to balance today between Panama and France, I vote for Panama. True, France has so much of culture, scenery, sea, gastronomy, and sunshine. And of course, every tourist finds something after his heart in France. BUT, the cost of living – even for tourists – can be painful! And it's  the same like in other parts of Europe. Everything is getting too expensive and hardly payable. In Panama, you can have a holiday for three weeks for what you would pay for one week in France. And – it's sooo pretty! Have a look at our special emigration report: "Where to live best today?"
