Panama is completing their above ground rail metro that will connect us to the city and airport in 2026, and new freeway system in 2025. Traffic is an issue in most of Central America and working around rush hour is advisable. After leaving the city and crossing the canal you will travel for 15 minutes through the "watershed" jungle area of the canal which is left for capturing water for the canal. Our property is located in the first town past the watershed area. Renting a car is advisable, taxis and Uber are plentiful, or I can suggest a private van transfer that will pick you up and be your guide during your stay. Guest access The property is ideal for guests who want to visit Panama's attractions, but return back to a tropical oasis to swim and relax in nature away from the hectic city. Best suited for those who love nature and experiencing the typical life of Panama while enjoying bird watching, yoga, strolling around the 5 acre property with its variety of tropical plants and trees, or relaxing by the private pool (not fenced). This is a private finca in a typical Panamanian neighborhood and not a resort area so you will be able to experience life in a Latin neighborhood. On weekends, the baseball diamond above the hill has its weekly game, you will hear fireworks at times in celebration of a goal or birthday, and buy bread or fruit from the vendor that passes by the lane everyday. A new addition is a yoga/meditation platform that has amazing hilltop views. Guests also have an outdoor kitchen which features an Argentinian style charcoal barbecue among other amenities. This property is located in the first town outside of Panama City at the juncture of the Freeway 1 and 4.
