If life’s journey leads you to Chiriquí, you should consider yourself very lucky. You will want to stay forever. Not simply another paradise, Chiriquí ’s natural beauty, quiet lushness and temperate climate make it an un-discovered treasure, ideal for both outdoors adventure seekers and urban refugees.

 Named “Valley of the Moon” by the native Guaymi Indians, Chiriquí is bordered on the east by Panama and on the north by Costa Rica and is just a 45-minute flight from Panama City or San Jose, Costa Rica. It is no surprise that Chiriquí has become one of the favorite choices for retirees from around the world, offering beauty and abundance, spectacular beaches, mystical rain forests and the best coffee in the world, according to the Specialty Coffee Association of America (SCAA), and the Rainforest Alliance, New York.
