    I visited this area in 2021 and LOVED it!! However, it didn;t seem to be a viable remote work location for me due to power outages and Internet fluctuations. Are things getting better now?

          Thanks all, great info. Question... How easy is it to get around the area? Do you need a car?

              What are some of the challenges of living in a remote area like Venao, particularly regarding access to amenities and healthcare?

                A comment just came in via email: How does Venao compare to more famous beach destinations like Hawaii in terms of cost and popularity?

                    I just came back from a trip to visit the Azuero peninsula I was concerned that the eastern coast works become to developed and "condo-ized" in the near future I went to the Sunset coast, Torio in particular I’m curious to hear the thoughts on this area and the Torio Hills development

                      Are there social or expat groups on the Azuero Peninsula that help newcomers integrate?

                        Panama’s little-known Azuero Peninsula could well be the next "Blue Zone." It's attracting wellness-minded folks interested in living at the beach—below the hurricane zone—​and ready to slow down and embrace a healthy life with strong community, fresh food, yoga, pickleball, surfing, fishing, and all-around easy living in the sun.

                        IL’s Panama editor and expert, Jess Ramesch, will get together with four expats who live on Panama's Azuero Peninsula, for a workshop with live Q&A. You'll hear from expats Kerri Lusk Barnes and Abbe Drossner in Pedasi, and expats Kimber Hardick and Terry Moe in and around Venao. Join host Jennifer Stevens, IL Executive Editor, for a lively discussion—and bring your questions!

                            What are the biggest lifestyle adjustments US expats typically face when moving to the Azuero Peninsula?

                                  Are there any other sports activities like golf, tennis, socccer. I also play the guitar and would like to start a band playing 60s - 80s songs. Any potential for that?

                                    re: starlink whilei was therei was on starlink and found that in the afternoon when the rain came, the connection was quite slow or non existent do you think that was an unusual experience or is that typical in the rainy season?
