🌴 Does Panama Attract You… or Simply Make You Curious?

Maybe it's the sunshine, the slower pace of life, or the idea of spending your retirement somewhere completely different.

Whatever draws you to Panama, there's one thing worth remembering: visiting for a holiday and living here are two very different experiences.

I'm Canadian, originally from Montreal, and I spent 19 years running a bed and breakfast in Coronado, Panama. I've experienced everyday life here, beyond the beautiful beaches and tropical scenery.

Through El Litoral, I help people discover what living in Panama is really like, explore their options and prepare for a possible move — without rushing into a major life decision.

You don't have to wait until retirement is here, or until circumstances force you to make a change. You can start exploring your options now, while you still have the freedom to choose.

demands of everyday life.

From Canada to Panama: Direct Flights to Río Hato for Winter 2026–2027

Dreaming of escaping the Canadian winter, discovering Panama, or exploring whether this country could become your future home?

Good news for Canadian travellers! During the 2026–2027 winter season, Air Transat and WestJet offer direct flights to Río Hato (RIH), near Playa Blanca, Farallón and the Pacific coast of Panama.

Flying directly to Río Hato makes it easier to reach this beautiful part of the country without having to travel through Panama City first.

✈️ Air Transat: Direct Flights from Montreal, Toronto and Quebec City

According to currently published flight schedules, Air Transat's direct services are scheduled as follows:

Montreal (YUL): from October 30, 2026.

Toronto (YYZ): from October 29, 2026.

Quebec City (YQB): from December 20, 2026, through April 25, 2027, with a weekly Sunday flight.

Flight dates and availability may vary during the season.

A Helpful Tip Before Booking

Compare both airlines for your travel dates. Check the total fare, baggage allowance, change and cancellation conditions, and flight times before purchasing your ticket.

Booking directly with the airline can also make it easier to manage your reservation if your plans change.

🌴 Why Not Use Your Trip to Discover the Real Panama?

A direct flight brings you to the Pacific coast, but Panama is about much more than beaches and holiday resorts.

Perhaps you're considering spending the winter in the sun, planning an extended stay, preparing for retirement abroad, or exploring the possibility of relocating permanently.

A discovery trip gives you the opportunity to experience everyday life, explore different areas, learn about local services, and better understand what living in Panama could mean for you.

This is where my personalized services can help.

After spending 19 years running a bed and breakfast in Coronado, I know this region and understand many of the practical realities of life in Panama.

Today, through El Litoral, I help people explore the country and think through their plans with personalized guidance and practical information.

My goal isn't to convince you to move. It's to help you ask the right questions, discover the country beyond the tourist experience, and decide whether life in Panama is genuinely right for you.

Whether you're visiting for a few weeks, escaping the Canadian winter, or considering a new chapter of your life, your trip can be much more than a holiday in the sunshine.

Let me help you discover Panama in a more meaningful way.

Don't Wait Until Something Hurts to Start Moving

We often wait until our bodies start complaining before we pay attention to them.
But staying strong, mobile and active is something we can work on every day.

Pilates helps us focus on strength, control, posture and the movements we use in real life.

At El Litoral in Costa Esmeralda, San Carlos, I offer a personal approach in a relaxed studio setting.
