Is there a lot of diversity? Are people in Panama accepting of differences?
When we asked people about diversity in Panama and whether locals are accepting of differences, they said...
"Boquete has some diversity and I have found it to be a very open and welcoming culture. A variety of religions and also non religious people. There is a vast economic diversity in Panama in general," remarked another expat who made the move to Boquete, Panama.
"Besides the multicultural Panamanians there are people from all over the world here and seven different Indian tribes. For the most part everyone gets along great. There are occasional clashes in any community and this is a tight knit one where people help their neighbors. Panama welcomes people from many countries with great expat laws and easy residency," explained one expat living in Bocas del Toro, Panama.
