Farm Life in Dolega

In our new video, Tracey and Ben share their experiences moving from South Africa to Dolega Panama, where they bought a small farm.

They had to do extensive renovations to the property. And they also built two other three-bedroom houses on the property which provide rental income.

Dolega is about 20 minutes north of David and 20 minutes south of Boquete. Since the elevation is about 750 feet, daytime temperatures are in the min to upper 80sF (30C)

Real estate, both rentals and sales, are much more affordable in Dolega.

We offer Private Tours of the Dolega/Boquete/David area. A Private Tour is a good way to quickly learn about an area.

See this review for a Private Tour

Hi Jackie, my husband and I want to commend Maury on her fabulous job as a guide. We try to stick to your recommendations and it has turned out well for us. We finally made our permanent move on Tuesday. We’ve used Maury on our last 3 visits and she has gone above and beyond what we expected in a guide. She has “held our hand” w banking, rental car, driver’s license, rental house (for 4 dogs), finding a tailor, last night we were out of propane and no car yet and there was Maury arriving w a new propane tank. Yesterday, we were in David buying a new Toyota, however, my US credit cards were giving me fraud alerts and she stayed calm and cool and is a great problem solver. We eventually made the purchase, but not without the help and communication of our private tour guide. She does everything to protect the PRT reputation and we greatly appreciated it. We will gladly recommend her to anyone in the future.
