In addition to a dollarized economy that simplifies financial planning for North Americans, retirees benefit from high-standard private healthcare and a tropical climate. Popular relocation destinations like the highland enclave of Boquete and Pacific coastal areas offer established expat networks that ease integration into the local culture.
