A city located near to the country capital may provide more possibilities. Some people love to visit or live in a quiet city, but also want to enjoy the variety of entertainment options or job opportunities that a capital city may offer.

The street layout is not that great, leading to lots of traffic jams. But it has almost nothing to envy about big cities.

Living in Panama is very comfortable compared to other Latin American countries, assuming you come with a job. While it can be costly for temporary residents, earning in dollars can be a great advantage. Panama offers a high quality of life, with activities to suit all tastes and everything is nearby compared to much larger, congested cities like Mexico City, Bogota, etc. In general, you can find everything you need and if you choose wisely, some products are more economical due to the ease of goods entering through the canal. I believe that the tourism infrastructure and education in the area could be strengthened to provide a more personal touch in different places. One cannot deny a current difficulty in waste management, but overall, Panama has a lot to offer.
