Isla Iguana is a 3 hectare (approximately 7.5 acres) island full of wildlife. In season, it has 3,000 turtle nests. It's a great experience to see turtles laying their eggs close up. There are waterfalls and rivers where you can do picnics, bird-watching and so on. The picturesque landscape makes it a great place to retire, specifically in the area of Limon. Houses in that area may be found for about $300,000 in a closed community, The Lofts for example. It is a great place to retire.

 

You may experience some difficulties getting to hospitals very close by but there is a hospital in Chitre which is approximately an hour away. Other than that, Pedasi is a great place to check out for your retirement.

Expat retirees like that Pedasi is cheaper than other areas of Panama, and that it has a lot of activities.
 
The expats who come to Pedasi to retire like that it is a “getaway place” compared to other places, for example, in Panama City or at the Pacific Beach areas near Panama City, which is a very popular place to retire in Panama.

 

If you want to retire in Coronado (a popular expat retirement area about an hour from Panama City, on the Pacific Coast), you need to understand that you will have the same supermarket, the same restaurants that you have in Panama City, the same malls, the same kind of life, maybe even the same neighbors that you will have in Panama City.

 

Pedasi offers you something different.  Pedasi is fresh, with rural charm.  Many expat retirees (me included, although I’m not an expat and I’m not retired) are trying to get away from the city as much as they can.  This is what Pedasi offers you; it’s a real “getaway place”.
