  • WHY MOVE TO PEDASI, PANAMA? | RETIRE IN PANAMA? | AZUERO PENINSULA. In this video we will showcase Pedasi, Panama. We will discuss its location, fishing, surfing, grocery shopping, it’s charm, and give an example of a new home construction as I explore this area to determine if I want to become a future expat here. Welcome to Pedasi, Panama.
    Pedasi is located on the top of the Azuero peninsula in the Los Santos province of Panama. It has an approximate population that is somewhere between 2500 and 4000 thousand people. It is around a five hour drive from Panama City, a half an hour drive from Playa Venao and about a five hour from Boquete.

    Thank you for showing my mother's hometown and where I spent every summer and go there every year for a month. I remember when we had no electricity 24 hours, rainwater was our only source. Then boom!!! I sit at the Bakery having a coffee and hearing languages from all over the world. It's amazing to see how the people made Pedasi in to a beautiful, laidback, super friendly town. You showed Casa de Campo and several rooms, the courtyard and the pool. That's our family home. No longer a B&B though. Planning a trip for November. Thanks again!

    LOVE LOVE LOVE how you take the time to show the buildings and architecture. Looks like such a pretty little place and I've heard nothing but good things about Pedasi. Buying fresh fish straight off the fishermen for example. Oh my Lord. Sign me up!!!

    So happy to see Pedasí after almost 2 years when I was there. You captured the street art, how pretty the little town is, those expansive beaches, all the shops with goodies and handmade art....❤️. And everyone greets everyone. 🙂 It's the kind of small town that you would imagine from a story book. Once upon a time there was a charming little town..... Thanks for all the info you covered!!

      Lol! You have been to so many places and you cover so much essential info so I rely on your knowledge a lot. I am sure our paths will cross one of these days and I hope that you do find one or two or three places in Panama that become home. Pedasí is certainly a place you can lose track of time in and start to feel like a local because it's small enough to see the same people over and over again. Even the cops wave to you and wish you a great day. 🙂

      Bare in mind that rental prices will be lower for pre-existing housing. That $110K house that was mentioned in the video was for a new construction. Existing homes are more reasonable. Also, best way to find is via word of mouth.
