Discover how the Free Stay program offers free stays in Panama to our investors. A unique opportunity to discover your investment before finalizing your commitment.

Introduction: Beyond Financial Return

Investing in Panama is much more than a financial opportunity: it's gaining access to a lifestyle, a destination, a rapidly developing region.

That's why LATAM Finance created the Free Stay program — a unique initiative that offers our investors free and luxurious stays in Panama, transforming your investment into a concrete and memorable experience.

This program answers a legitimate question all our investors ask themselves: "Before committing for 5-10 years, how can I really know Panama City? See the property in person? Meet the teams? Discover the lifestyle?"

The answer: the Free Stay program.

The Concept: Transform Investors into Temporary Expatriates

The Free Stay program is built on a simple philosophy:

Investing in Panama means first discovering Panama.

So we offer our investors (and their families) entirely free premium accommodations in Panama City, so they can:

  1. Discover deeply the lifestyle and neighborhoods
  2. Meet the team at LATAM Finance, local partners and other investors
  3. Validate their decision by actually living in Panama
  4. Explore the properties in the Club Deal they're investing in
  5. Immerse in culture — restaurants, nightlife, activities, schools, healthcare

A 2-4 week stay in Panama costs approximately $3,000-5,000 for a couple (hotel + meals + transport). The Free Stay program offers this completely free, significantly increasing perceived value and confidence in your LATAM Finance commitment.
