Discover Panama Like Never Before: Tailored Tours for Future Expats
Retire in Panama Tours specializes in providing firsthand, immersive experiences designed for those considering relocating to Panama. The tours focus on giving potential expats a comprehensive and honest view of what life would be like in the country, far beyond typical tourist experiences.
1. 7-Day Cross Panama Small Group Tour: Explore, Experience, Decide
The 7-Day Cross Panama Small Group Tour is the perfect introduction to Panama for those considering a move. Over the course of the tour, you’ll travel across Panama from the modern capital of Panama City to the lush, serene Chiriquí Highlands. The journey is more than sightseeing—it’s about experiencing the real Panama through the eyes of both expats and locals.
What sets this tour apart is the small group size—only 8 to 15 participants—allowing for personal attention and an intimate atmosphere where you can ask the important questions: How does the healthcare system work? What’s the cost of living like? Which neighborhoods are ideal for expats?
This hands-on exploration of Panama lets you live the expat experience before you make a decision, ensuring you leave with a deep understanding of what it means to make Panama your home.
Oscar Peña, one of the founders of Retire in Panama Tours, explains, "Our tours aren’t just about showing the beauty of Panama, but about helping you understand how it can fit into your lifestyle. We want to help you call Panama home."
2. Discover the Chiriquí Highlands: A Peaceful, Scenic Expat Haven
If you’ve ever dreamed of living in a quieter, cooler climate surrounded by lush mountains and tranquil valleys, then the Chiriquí Highlands may be your perfect destination. This three-day tour provides a deep dive into this peaceful, expat-friendly region of Panama, where you can explore the welcoming towns of Boquete and Volcán—ideal for those who seek a more relaxed, nature-filled lifestyle.
Throughout the tour, you’ll interact with expats who have already made the move, gaining insights into the cost of living, real estate options, and local culture. Whether you’re looking for a place to retire or start a new chapter in life, the Chiriquí Highlands offer a perfect blend of community, nature, and tranquility.
Rod Larrivee, co-founder of Retire in Panama Tours, shares, "This is more than just a tour; it’s about helping you see if this beautiful highland region aligns with your lifestyle goals. It’s an opportunity to ask questions, explore, and feel the pulse of this area’s expat community."
3. Panama Total Access Pass: Expert Guidance on Your Own Terms
For those who prefer a more tailored, flexible approach, the Panama Total Access Pass offers the ultimate in personalized support. This option provides private one-on-one consultations, giving you direct access to Panama relocation experts via Zoom calls. You can discuss specific concerns—whether it’s finding the best place to live, understanding the visa process, or navigating Panama’s legal systems—on your schedule, at your own pace.
This program is perfect for those who want all the expert insight without the structure of a group tour. Whether you're seeking clarity on healthcare or advice on expat communities, the Panama Total Access Pass ensures you get the focused attention you need.
Megan Thompson, Director of Operations for Retire in Panama team, explains, "The Total Access Pass is designed for those who prefer to move forward independently but still need expert support. It’s all about providing personalized advice to fit your unique needs."
