Panama is fast becoming one of the favored destinations for expats due to its first-world amenities and infrastructure, favorable tax laws and low cost of living. Santiago, the provincial capital of Veraguas, is small in size but big on amenities.

Santiago is small, but it’s growing. It offers all the basics and many of the extra amenities one might crave. You’ll find cable television and high speed Internet and reliable power here.
