Puerto Armuelles

Puerto Armuelles is another small beach town that has become popular with expats. Property prices in this area are a fraction of what you would pay for beachfront property closer to Panama City. Some argue that the beaches are even better. They are unquestionably quieter. Puerto Armuelles is a relaxed and welcoming town. People truly leave their doors open and know everyone in their neighborhood. On a Sunday, all stores close, but the bars remain open.

Puerto Armuelles was a bustling port town a century ago. The good times may be returning. Puerto is an important location due to its unique deep-water port. The government is investing heavily in the area in the hopes of improving shipping facilities in Panama's west. A railway connecting the west to Panama City is already under construction. If you are looking for a quiet town in which to run a small business, consider Puerto Armuelles. As a result, the coming years are bound to bring some exciting opportunities.
