PANAMA AND ITS AZUERO
PENINSULA |
"Panama's moment seems to have arrived."
Los Angeles Times, February 2, 2005
"the latest eco-playground with panache."
New York Magazine, January 2005
"Panama has somehow evaded the tourist's radar screen despite having much
more to offer than other popular Central American destinations."
Lonely Planet Guide 2005 |
Geography ordains Panama as an ecological, cultural and historical crossroad of the World; a meeting point of old and new, East and West, North and South. The New York Times recently praised Panama for its “embarrassment of wildlife and natural beauty” and New York Magazine called the country “the latest eco-playground with panache”.
To the growing number of people choosing to live and vacation in Panama, the country’s relative obscurity is unfathomable in light of its attributes. As the New York Times observed, parts of Panama are “undeniably first-world” and the country is “much more user friendly than other developing nations ” given that many people speak English; the United States dollar is the official currency; the drinking water is clean; the government is stable; there are good hotels and crime is low”.
Azueros is located at the southern tip of Panama’s Azuero Peninsula, about five miles outside the town of Pedasi. The Azuero Peninsula is often compared to Costa Ricas’ most desirable region, the Guanacaste province, for its friendly locals, attractive weather and strong Spanish colonial heritage.
One of Panama’s driest regions, the Azuero Peninsula has just two seasons, one golden and dry, the other green and lush. In the golden season (December-May) you will find clear blue skies and crisp offshore breezes, while in the green season (June-November) you can expect intermittent rain and sun to bring out the lushness for which Panama is so famous. |
