Hi again @briantravelman! ....Mexico does beat a lot of countries, haha! But this video is about CR vs Panama... 🙏😊 Great to hear which country you love though! 👍 Have you seen our video on Costa Rica vs Mexico? ua-cam.com/video/GqS-QSV3TlQ/v-deo.html
@PattyBlueHayes oh how lovely for you! Which area did you choose? Panama is rather large and has so many elevations and terrains we felt we would need a few more years to really know it fully! Thank you for your comment and also for clicking LIKE and subscribing (if you did!)!
@@PlanFree I live in Panama city and am Panameña. Have also lived in 4 other countries. Live alone and have not had any issues. Very safe and the dolor is our currency, the balboa is just a few coins.
@PattyBlueHayes great choices! We also lived up via Volcan, not as high as Volcan but closer to Bugaba. Very cool experience! We would also live the check out the Coronado area. Which do you prefer so far and why?
@@PlanFree I have a friend with a cacao farm in Bugaba 😁 Quetzal Cacao. I prefer the mountains here in Panama Oeste. The rain and continual grey skies got to me in Volcan. Coronado is a dry arc - less rain. Beautiful swimmable beaches only 40 mins away where as from Volcan, at least 1.5 hour drive.
In Costa Rica the streets are in poor condition, Costa Rica has problems with garbage, the locals want to charge double when they see you as a tourist, the food is too expensive and crime is worse. However, in Panama there is more development, better streets, the people are friendly and educated, the food is cheaper, the technology, we must bear in mind that Panama is the richest country and with the highest human development in Central America and therefore that there is less poverty and crime. Visit both countries and you will realize that Panama is the best option, we lived in Costa Rica for 1 year and we moved to Panama. We have lived in Panama for 10 years and it was the best option, we love Panama.
Those are all great points @Mark and we also experienced all the same things you talk about in Costa Rica and Panama. Even though we loved the biodiversity in CR, we also did find that the street condition and the the crime were both quite sketchy. Too bad to say. How many years have you been living now in Panama and which area? Thank you also for watching and writing your comment, we appreciate it.

I lived in Panama for 5 years. It’s very well developed because of all the USA had put into it and the canal. They also benefit in good drinking water there because of the bases that were there. In Guatemala and other countries we had to buy bottled water. We got to go back and visit Panama again in 2016....I’m still in love with Panama.....it has my heart.
Thanks for watching our video @Debi Brown! Great comment. We thank you for sharing your experience. We agree, most countries that we've lived in also we have had to buy bottled water, almost anywhere. Back home in Canada too though to avoid too many chemicals! Where do you call home now?
We'd love to explore Florida one day. Pricey though for us north of the border peeps! ....our dollar isn't so hot right now and for many years already! Phillipines is likely on our list of countries to live in next winter. Can't wait! Do you recommend any areas in the Phillipines?
I would agree, that in my travels, I found that CR had a higher percentage of spectacular scenery. I live in Panama and it certainly has PLENTY of gorgeous landscapes. but CR seemed to have more. I started in CR but didn't stay...Boquete ROCKS....lots of beautiful scenery here.
Hi @kevin fisher! Yes we would agree with a higher percentage of spectacular scenery to be found in CR in all our travels also. Panama lacks no beauty, specially up vía Volcan and Boquete area for SURE, but just more lush in CR overall. Thanks SO much for taking the time to share your comment! 👍
My husband and I looked at both places for retirement and ultimately decided on CR and we both agree with your assessment of both places. We felt you were spot on with your video. We ultimate chose Costa Rica and have been living here for 5 years.
Yay for you both @Linda Harris! Thank you so much for the wonderful awesome feedback on our video. 💓 Ayr does a great job when explaining our experiences in countries I think also. Glad you agree.

@@dsmp_17 no, sounds like he's genuinely asking a question. How do you deal with the property crime? It's rampant in Costa Rica, at least in the cities. That's not a secret. Como hace para protegerse del crimen contra la propiedad en Costa Rica, ya que la politica de Costa Rica es permitir que haya tantos criminales robando.
Stunning videography! I love how you get to stay several months in a place. You become a true expert and are able to give very useful information! We want to go to Panama and tour the canal. Thanks so much!

If you go do yourself a favor; check out the islands on the Caribbean side of Panama, and the higher elevation towns of Volcan and Boquette.👍
I love the two countries a lot. I’m from Costa Rica and I had the opportunity to live in Panama, Costa Rica, and the United States. I also travel extensively true Central America for my business. All I have to say is that every location has good and bad things.
@Pablo Arias SO absolutely TRUE. We have found the same thing in every area, good and not good. 🙂 We LOVE so much that you took the time to write your experience here for us! Thank you! We wish you the best!

I agree with almost everything you said in this video..... except the part about the money situations. Everywhere I went in CR they had not only a USD price but also a Col price clearly marked on most items.... As well as all ATMS gave you the option to choose what currency you wanted to withdraw.
Hey @nick flatt, interesting feedback. We wonder if that is geographically related. We spent most of our time in quieter, more obscure, out of the way places...not well travelled or known. Where did you spend your time mainly? Also how long did you stay in CR and where you there recently?

Since Noriega, there is no military in Panama. There is, however, a militarized police force: the Policia Nacional; many patrol on motorcycles. They frequently check on banks and malls for security. They're usually friendly. In Panama City, it may rain for 2-3 hours with beautiful thunderstorms mixed in, after which the sun comes back out generally. Much more humid, though, April through Jan. But in higher mountain regions, such as Chiriquí, the story may be different. 🤠

Panama has more positive points than Costa Rica. 1. In Costa Rica, the streets in poor condition and full of holes do not invest in infrastructure, however in Panama there are good roads until the most distant town has good streets. 2. Cost of living in Costa Rica is very high, technology is very expensive, food. In Panama it is cheaper to buy a car, technology and even a house. 3. In Costa Rica use colones, one day there is a price tomorrow is another price, inflation in Costa Rica is unbearable. In Panama there is price stability because they use the dollar. 4. Costa Rica being a low income country there is more poverty and as a result more crime. However, Panama is the richest country in Central America and with the highest human development, there is less poverty and crime. Costa Rica is very overrated, it is not worth paying so much money for a country that has little to offer. There is a lot of nature in Panama and even in Guatemala, Panama has more forested areas than Costa Rica, you have to know, my wife and I traveled all over Central America and we decided on Panama, it is the best there is in Central America.
Valid points and we agree on most @Marco's AQ. We will maybe say it in a different way... that Costa Rica DOES have much to offer as does Panama. 🥰 We are Canadian and so for us having the dollar as the basis in Panama was actually more expensive or equal to our cost of living in Canada whereas some less touristy areas in Costa Rica were more affordable for us. So, that is something else to consider. In our experience, it's just like anywhere in a country, you can find pockets where it's more expensive and you have a harder time living and then there are other pockets in the same country where you find very affordable places to live with an easier cost of living and pace of life. We quite enjoyed our time in both countries but at this point we probably wouldn't consider going back to either until we check the list off of several other countries. 🙊 For instance we are in Ecuador right now and it's an incredible balance between an astonishing amount of biodiversity, a stable US dollar and a low cost of living. 👍 Stay tuned to our UA-cam channel for more videos on Ecuador to come! Thank you for watching this video and we really appreciate your comment and perspective on all your points above. So glad you found a great life in Panama! Hope you clicked the like button on this video and watch several more on our channel. Welcome!
Cost of living and crime would be high on my priority list. Looks like CR would be best to visit and Panama is a better option to live. I am curious what the difference is for visas?
Yes you pretty much nailed it with the cost of living in crime overall and generally speaking both would be a bit higher in Costa Rica that is our experience and what we heard from many people we met and lower overall and generally in Panama. Depends on so many things to though which locations in Panama and Costa Rica....etc. For your Visa question what kind of visas are you referring to our experience was just the tourist visa in Costa Rica only gives Canadians 3 months to stay and Panama give 6 months so that's really nice to know you don't have to cross the border and return again. Thank you so much for taking the time to write your comment, we sure love the ongoing conversation! Please click LIKE on the video if you don't mind, that would help UA-cam show it to more people. 😘👍

Oui! @didier halbart ...vraiment beaucoup moins chere en Panama! C'est vrai! Mais aussi completement different, oui? (Pardonnez nous pour notre francais, on a etudiez seulement en l'ecole et ca fais LONGTEMPS!) Avez vous des experiences dans les deux pays?
@@PlanFree i live in costa rica, and i have been to panama many times. despite the fact that they are close countries, they are in some respects very different, the center of Panama city for example, much better equipped than San José, shops where you can find everything, and a more European adventure, a much more equipped and embellished avenue. the interior country also nice, the north side resembles Costa Rica except the roads in perfect states in Panama, the north is with boca del torro quiet islands, the vegetation of the pacific coast with its centers of interest. much more active standard of living for pensioners, reduction in shows, cafe restaurants, hospital care and pharmaceuticals. safety, in Panama you can drive around at night without any problem in the capital. and ease of reaching all the important and tourist points by an impeccable road service. Without counting the price of living on the spot, namely 30 to 35% less. (Imerial, Costa Rican beer is worth at CR between 1000 col and 1500 depending on the location in Panama and is at 750 col ...) Quality restaurants which is only beginning to come to Costa Rica.
@@didierhalbart7486 Ahhhh you chose CR, it's a good choice for sure. North up by Nicaragua, in a beachy Pacific area? Inland close to San Jose? Or over near the Panama border? We think you hit so many great points in your last comment. It's a good overall description and what we also found in comparing the 2 countries. We agree on the Bocas area, it was one of our favorites. We found that there was maybe 1 or 2 areas in CR left for us to explore and probably 4 or 5 more in Panama! Loved reading your comment again and we thank you for writing back! We look forward to hearing more of your experiences! Have you seen our 2 Costa Rica videos? ~ Here is one of them: ua-cam.com/video/YxSbCdhjmp4/v-deo.html We'd love to hear your thoughts!
Thank you for watching and adding a great thought provoking comment! Before we can answer we have to ask you some questions; Does it have to be an island?

@@PlanFree It can be anywhere that you have been. The #1 best place you guys would buy a home in. Safest, nicest people, best place to spend a few months every year.
@@stevelewis7418 HI Steve, Okay (pre-pandemic) We would have to choose Bali-safe-peaceful people, good cost of living, pleasant climate, excellent food. We are looking forward to exploring more of Asia. What's your choice of places?
Sorry is not Panama Vrs Costa Rica...It is Costa Rica AND Panamá...Saludos a Panamá Pura Vida se les quiere y soñamos con una coalición comercial maravillosa🇨🇷🇵🇦
Yay for solidarity! Good for you and thanks for sharing your view! What was you favorite part of this video? Feel free to share the video to help promote both countries to other travelers! That would be awesome! Thanks for watching!
Costa Rica is better for nature, Panama is better for history and culture. So I don't think you can say that one as a WHOLE is better than the other, because they are both very different and special in their own way. And both have things the other lacks, so it really depends what you're in the mood for.
Hey @briantravelman, we agree. And thanks so much for leaving your thoughts. We love reading what others think. 👍 We decided to compare both the countries here for the people who have not been able to visit Costa Rica or Panama... they might not know. We thought since we have slow traveled them both, that we'd share what we found to be different between the two. :) One doesn't have to be better or "win", we simply speak to what differs between the 2 countries. We also dont choose a preferred country, in this case, because we don't have one. As you said: they each offer their own things. It depends on each individual. We very much enjoyed our time in both. 👌 Thanks again for writing and we hope you clicked the LIKE button! Cheers!

Good initiative but Incomplete and with wrong interpretation. How can you give your opinion on rainy seasons while you don’t even spend a full year in both countries.
Hi @Jerome Duche We felt we could give our opinion on rainy season because we LIVED in both countries during and through part of the rainy seasons. Nov-May give or take in both countries. Soooo it rained. While we lived there. And then it stopped. While we lived there. We simply speak to our experience of how each rainy season went for us, while we were there. It's like a friend telling another friend what they just experienced. Follow? And, we also mentioned that we know that each year is different and can be different: longer, shorter, wetter, drier, but we tell OUR experience. Also, Google is kind of helpful for info on rainy season! lol What did you LIKE about the video?

I'm in Costa Rica now for 5 months and feel this is it. This is very difficult to live in a country where people have a very low level of responsibility. I'm not sure how it is in Panama, but in CR they promise something, and if it's not done or fixed as promised it's normal. Also, you'll will be gringooed , which is overpaying pretty much everywhere just because you are not a local. This is very annoying, sometimes gets's over my patience.
Hey thanks for your comment @Best Of Costa Rica! Well we definitely experienced what you are talking about. It does seem to be a very relaxed culture and sense of time, perhaps a lack of urgency. It can happen in several countries and communities...we have seen it in smaller communities in Panama, a lot of communities in CR and we have also seen and heard about it in Mexico. It IS very frustrating. Especially the overpaying just because we have lighter skin or appear Canadian, American, or European for example. We, to this day, have no idea how to overcome this and can completely sympathize! What part of CR are you in? Will you be there permanently? Hope you liked our video and clicked the Like button? 🙏
@@dsmp_17, Sí, algunas veces es solo porque los extranjeros parecen tener "gustos" más caros (comida, alojamiento, necesitan una piscina, etc.). Pero, lo que ella (@Best Of Costa Rica) quiere decir es que para los artículos regulares de todos los días, digamos en una ferretería o en una tienda local de comida/frutas/verduras etc... no marcarán los precios y luego simplemente le "dirán" un precio en la caja. A menudo es más alto para un "gringo" que para un local. Esa parte no mola. 😪
Thank you for sharing your video. Is it easy to cross the border from Costa Rica to Panama & back again? If we are staying in Puerto Viejo de Talamanca, can you cross the border in May?
Hi @Catherine Hunt, You are most welcome for the video. What did you like best about it? When we lived in CR it was quite easy to cross the border and go back again. We lived in the Osa/Sierpe region of CR and then in a later year we lived in the Volcan/David area and both times we crossed the border near the Pacific side of CR/Panama. We crossed in the Paso Canoas area. 🙂 I would imagine all border crossings (the 2 biggest crossings between CR and Panama are: Paso Canoas SE in CR and Sixaola in the NE of CR) would be operating the same in both countries.....but times might have been different NOW then we we lived in these countries! With Covid now, you may want to look into what Panama requires from a traveler for entry for the day or for a few days and if it's minimal (for ex. no test or insurance) then you'd be good to go! Let us know how it turns out for you!

This was a great video! The imagery was breathtaking (although maybe some titles to distinguish which countries they were from might help in the future). Personally, I appreciated the currency and dollar use comparison. Being from Puerto Rico the product diversity, rainy seasons, and general natural stability (e.g., earthquakes, tsunami threats, hurricanes, etc.) are MUCH better in both CR or Panama. Regarding crime, both countries are [statistically] significantly better than living in the US or any other Central/South American country as well. Keep these videos coming!
@Carlito Garcia great comment and tips for our future videos! Thank you for that. What you write about PR is super interesting! We almost went to PR one winter and lived there for 6 months...but hurricane Maria just passed through and we thought it would be better to wait! Well, pretty easy to capture breathtaking imagery in both CR and Panama, isn't it!? Thank you so much for the comment, may it help promote both countries to other travelers also! And, thank you if you subscribed, clicked LIKE and shared the video! 👍
@@PlanFree if you make it to PR in the future, think about the island like a mini USA: San Juan is akin to NY, Ponce to Miami, and the west coast to California. You’ll need a full year to take in all the geography and things the island has to offer!
Great comparison, love the description. Those depictions are great to help prepare a person travelling to PR. Perhaps they would think its quiet and rural everywhere. But those cities are bustling! And we agree, the longer you can stay in an area the better, to really get to know it. A lot of people cannot travel slowly like that. That's why part of our channel is teaching others how to manage their money to be able to! Ahhhh s l o w travelllll... our favorite! Hope you like our other videos!
Some people have stated one country is more friendly than others. That might be true. However, I think most other countries will be welcoming IF you treat them with respect and don't expect others to kowtow to you and American customs. Arrogance is NOT appreciated anywhere!

@@PlanFree check out area like Boca el Toras, and heading closer to Panama City like Pedasi and that area SW and NE.

Yes, technically that's right. Though, Panama does have a paramilitary in addition there is the little country of USA that has a significant number of troops permanently stationed in Panama. Thank you for watching, and commenting, we appreciate you.
One of the many problems no one addresses is the Panamanian currency. Although Panama has its own currency (the Balboa), however, Panama also uses the U.S. dollar. The Balboa to U.S. dollar exchange rate is 1-to-1, which doesn't make since when it comes to GDP. The Gross Domestic Product (GDP) in Panama was worth 52.94 billion US dollars in 2020. Compare that to the U.S. GDP in 2020 at $20.93 trillion. So how did the 1-to-1 exchange rate balance off? Someone with subject matter expertise in economy explain this...I am not convinced that Panama is the best or most beneficial place to retire. Healthcare and medical services outside of Panama City is horrible. DO NOT expect hospitals outside of Panama City to have the same quality. Start asking what expats do not like about Panama...
Well thanks for watching our video and putting your thoughts and perspective in here @Tulbane Moore. Hopefully somebody with this knowledge will be able to reply here. So we take it that of the 2 countries we compare here, Costa Rica would get your vote?
Hi @Tico Blanco, Were you asking us? Or another commenter? We travelled and lived in both countries when there was no crisis so we are not able to properly answer your question. We will say though that because Panama's currency is tied to the US dollar, we found Costa Rica to be a little cheaper to live. Depending on location in both countries.

Good video, however panama doesn’t have an army either,, what you saw are policemen who dress in fatigues, it’s a militarized section of the police force that behaves like soldiers but no armed forces in panama since 1989

Hi @Basi M were you asking @Linda Harris?
@@dsmp_17 no, sounds like he's genuinely asking a question. How do you deal with the property crime? It's rampant in Costa Rica, at least in the cities. That's not a secret. Como hace para protegerse del crimen contra la propiedad en Costa Rica, ya que la politica de Costa Rica es permitir que haya tantos criminales robando.
Stunning videography! I love how you get to stay several months in a place. You become a true expert and are able to give very useful information! We want to go to Panama and tour the canal. Thanks so much!

I love the two countries a lot.
I’m from Costa Rica and I had the opportunity to live in Panama, Costa Rica, and the United States. I also travel extensively true Central America for my business.

I agree with almost everything you said in this video..... except the part about the money situations. Everywhere I went in CR they had not only a USD price but also a Col price clearly marked on most items.... As well as all ATMS gave you the option to choose what currency you wanted to withdraw.
Hey @nick flatt, interesting feedback.
We wonder if that is geographically related.
We spent most of our time in quieter, more obscure, out of the way places...not well travelled or known. Where did you spend your time mainly?
Also how long did you stay in CR and where you there recently?

Since Noriega, there is no military in Panama. There is, however, a militarized police force: the Policia Nacional; many patrol on motorcycles. They frequently check on banks and malls for security. They're usually friendly.
In Panama City, it may rain for 2-3 hours with beautiful thunderstorms mixed in, after which the sun comes back out generally. Much more humid, though, April through Jan. But in higher mountain regions, such as Chiriquí, the story may be different. 🤠

Panama has more positive points than Costa Rica. 1. In Costa Rica, the streets in poor condition and full of holes do not invest in infrastructure, however in Panama there are good roads until the most distant town has good streets. 2. Cost of living in Costa Rica is very high, technology is very expensive, food. In Panama it is cheaper to buy a car, technology and even a house. 3. In Costa Rica use colones, one day there is a price tomorrow is another price, inflation in Costa Rica is unbearable. In Panama there is price stability because they use the dollar. 4. Costa Rica being a low income country there is more poverty and as a result more crime. However, Panama is the richest country in Central America and with the highest human development, there is less poverty and crime. Costa Rica is very overrated, it is not worth paying so much money for a country that has little to offer. There is a lot of nature in Panama and even in Guatemala, Panama has more forested areas than Costa Rica, you have to know, my wife and I traveled all over Central America and we decided on Panama, it is the best there is in Central America.
Valid points and we agree on most @Marco's AQ.
We will maybe say it in a different way... that Costa Rica DOES have much to offer as does Panama. 🥰
We are Canadian and so for us having the dollar as the basis in Panama was actually more expensive or equal to our cost of living in Canada whereas some less touristy areas in Costa Rica were more affordable for us. So, that is something else to consider.
In our experience, it's just like anywhere in a country, you can find pockets where it's more expensive and you have a harder time living and then there are other pockets in the same country where you find very affordable places to live with an easier cost of living and pace of life.
We quite enjoyed our time in both countries but at this point we probably wouldn't consider going back to either until we check the list off of several other countries. 🙊
For instance we are in Ecuador right now and it's an incredible balance between an astonishing amount of biodiversity, a stable US dollar and a low cost of living. 👍

Cost of living and crime would be high on my priority list. Looks like CR would be best to visit and Panama is a better option to live. I am curious what the difference is for visas?
Yes you pretty much nailed it with the cost of living in crime overall and generally speaking both would be a bit higher in Costa Rica that is our experience and what we heard from many people we met and lower overall and generally in Panama.
Depends on so many things to though which locations in Panama and Costa Rica....etc.
For your Visa question what kind of visas are you referring to our experience was just the tourist visa in Costa Rica only gives Canadians 3 months to stay and Panama give 6 months so that's really nice to know you don't have to cross the border and return again.

@@PlanFree i live in costa rica, and i have been to panama many times. despite the fact that they are close countries, they are in some respects very different, the center of Panama city for example, much better equipped than San José, shops where you can find everything, and a more European adventure, a much more equipped and embellished avenue. the interior country also nice, the north side resembles Costa Rica except the roads in perfect states in Panama, the north is with boca del torro quiet islands, the vegetation of the pacific coast with its centers of interest. much more active standard of living for pensioners, reduction in shows, cafe restaurants, hospital care and pharmaceuticals. safety, in Panama you can drive around at night without any problem in the capital. and ease of reaching all the important and tourist points by an impeccable road service. Without counting the price of living on the spot, namely 30 to 35% less. (Imerial, Costa Rican beer is worth at CR between 1000 col and 1500 depending on the location in Panama and is at 750 col ...) Quality restaurants which is only beginning to come to Costa Rica.
@@didierhalbart7486 Ahhhh you chose CR, it's a good choice for sure. North up by Nicaragua, in a beachy Pacific area? Inland close to San Jose? Or over near the Panama border?
We think you hit so many great points in your last comment. It's a good overall description and what we also found in comparing the 2 countries.
We agree on the Bocas area, it was one of our favorites. We found that there was maybe 1 or 2 areas in CR left for us to explore and probably 4 or 5 more in Panama!

Costa Rica is better for nature, Panama is better for history and culture. So I don't think you can say that one as a WHOLE is better than the other, because they are both very different and special in their own way. And both have things the other lacks, so it really depends what you're in the mood for.
Hey @briantravelman, we agree.
And thanks so much for leaving your thoughts. We love reading what others think. 👍
We decided to compare both the countries here for the people who have not been able to visit Costa Rica or Panama... they might not know. We thought since we have slow traveled them both, that we'd share what we found to be different between the two. :)
One doesn't have to be better or "win", we simply speak to what differs between the 2 countries. We also dont choose a preferred country, in this case, because we don't have one. As you said: they each offer their own things. It depends on each individual.
We very much enjoyed our time in both. 👌

Good initiative but Incomplete and with wrong interpretation. How can you give your opinion on rainy seasons while you don’t even spend a full year in both countries.
Hi @Jerome Duche We felt we could give our opinion on rainy season because we LIVED in both countries during and through part of the rainy seasons. Nov-May give or take in both countries. Soooo it rained. While we lived there. And then it stopped. While we lived there.
We simply speak to our experience of how each rainy season went for us, while we were there. It's like a friend telling another friend what they just experienced. Follow?
And, we also mentioned that we know that each year is different and can be different: longer, shorter, wetter, drier, but we tell OUR experience.
Also, Google is kind of helpful for info on rainy season! lol

I'm in Costa Rica now for 5 months and feel this is it. This is very difficult to live in a country where people have a very low level of responsibility. I'm not sure how it is in Panama, but in CR they promise something, and if it's not done or fixed as promised it's normal. Also, you'll will be gringooed , which is overpaying pretty much everywhere just because you are not a local. This is very annoying, sometimes gets's over my patience.
Hey thanks for your comment @Best Of Costa Rica!
Well we definitely experienced what you are talking about.
It does seem to be a very relaxed culture and sense of time, perhaps a lack of urgency.
It can happen in several countries and communities...we have seen it in smaller communities in Panama, a lot of communities in CR and we have also seen and heard about it in Mexico.
It IS very frustrating. Especially the overpaying just because we have lighter skin or appear Canadian, American, or European for example.
We, to this day, have no idea how to overcome this and can completely sympathize!
What part of CR are you in? Will you be there permanently?

@@dsmp_17, Sí, algunas veces es solo porque los extranjeros parecen tener "gustos" más caros (comida, alojamiento, necesitan una piscina, etc.). Pero, lo que ella (@Best Of Costa Rica) quiere decir es que para los artículos regulares de todos los días, digamos en una ferretería o en una tienda local de comida/frutas/verduras etc... no marcarán los precios y luego simplemente le "dirán" un precio en la caja. A menudo es más alto para un "gringo" que para un local. Esa parte no mola. 😪
Thank you for sharing your video. Is it easy to cross the border from Costa Rica to Panama & back again? If we are staying in Puerto Viejo de Talamanca, can you cross the border in May?
Hi @Catherine Hunt, You are most welcome for the video.
What did you like best about it?
When we lived in CR it was quite easy to cross the border and go back again. We lived in the Osa/Sierpe region of CR and then in a later year we lived in the Volcan/David area and both times we crossed the border near the Pacific side of CR/Panama. We crossed in the Paso Canoas area. 🙂
I would imagine all border crossings (the 2 biggest crossings between CR and Panama are: Paso Canoas SE in CR and Sixaola in the NE of CR) would be operating the same in both countries.....but times might have been different NOW then we we lived in these countries! With Covid now, you may want to look into what Panama requires from a traveler for entry for the day or for a few days and if it's minimal (for ex. no test or insurance) then you'd be good to go!

This was a great video!
The imagery was breathtaking (although maybe some titles to distinguish which countries they were from might help in the future). Personally, I appreciated the currency and dollar use comparison.
Being from Puerto Rico the product diversity, rainy seasons, and general natural stability (e.g., earthquakes, tsunami threats, hurricanes, etc.) are MUCH better in both CR or Panama. Regarding crime, both countries are [statistically] significantly better than living in the US or any other Central/South American country as well.
Keep these videos coming!

Thank you for watching, and commenting, we appreciate you.
One of the many problems no one addresses is the Panamanian currency. Although Panama has its own currency (the Balboa), however, Panama also uses the U.S. dollar. The Balboa to U.S. dollar exchange rate is 1-to-1, which doesn't make since when it comes to GDP. The Gross Domestic Product (GDP) in Panama was worth 52.94 billion US dollars in 2020. Compare that to the U.S. GDP in 2020 at $20.93 trillion. So how did the 1-to-1 exchange rate balance off? Someone with subject matter expertise in economy explain this...I am not convinced that Panama is the best or most beneficial place to retire. Healthcare and medical services outside of Panama City is horrible. DO NOT expect hospitals outside of Panama City to have the same quality. Start asking what expats do not like about Panama...
Well thanks for watching our video and putting your thoughts and perspective in here @Tulbane Moore. Hopefully somebody with this knowledge will be able to reply here.

Is a any diferent in the economy crisis having a dollar as a currency??????
Hi @Tico Blanco,
Were you asking us? Or another commenter?
We travelled and lived in both countries when there was no crisis so we are not able to properly answer your question.
We will say though that because Panama's currency is tied to the US dollar, we found Costa Rica to be a little cheaper to live. Depending on location in both countries.
