Altos de Maria: Mountain Real Estate in Panama

I recently took a road trip to see a house in the Altos de Maria development about an hour and a half outside of Panama City, Panama. As you journey down the Pan-American Highway west from the city, you pass by a high stone archway announcing the presence of the new housing project. What was lacking was the sign that should have read: “45 minutes down narrow curving roads that are partially under construction, 80 degree grade not uncommon”. Granted I understand that would have been a bit cumbersome to fit on your typical government issued road sign, but honestly, a warning would have been nice!

Our journey started out crisscrossing several streets lined with Chinito convenience stores and Fondas or humdrum dusty restaurants with outdoor plastic seating. View the rest of this article
