Panama is one of the most beautiful countries in the world. With a rich history, fascinating culture and a variety of historic sights, Panama is the perfect vacation destination for you and your family.
Agree, just returned from a visit. Viva Panama!
@@anurseinthekitchen6442 go to the black American experience in Panama on TH-cam!
The best channel on TH-cam..I tell all my family and friends to subscribe to your channel because you put that black face on world travel and our community needs to see these places around the world that you travel to as well as seeing black folk doing it
Appreciate all that! Love my job! Thanks for spreading the word!
Yes! It’s great for those who know nothing about travel, and the fact that many “black people”, have traveled for years. It’s always good to remove oneself from subculture community dwellings and learn more. Brown faces have always traveled the world.
Why is this about race 🤔
We are from NYC and spend at least 7 months a year in Panama. Life for us is so much better here. Panama opened it’s loving arms, gave us a hug and we knew we had found home. Visitors and foreign residents just need to be mindful of the local culture and their concerns. We live here with respect and gratitude for making us feel so welcome. It’s our heaven on earth.
That's one that people hunting for a new home have in common. They know when they've found it. There isn't any middle ground. Wishing you and yours the best!
Panama City (and its skyline) reminds me a lot of Miami.
There’s so much more to Panama my home! The places mentioned are fairly new. You should visit the canal, true black Christ and other areas outside of the city. Panama used to be a wonderful place growing up in the 70s and 80s. There were many activities last week celebrating black ethnicity.
Yes, we visited the canal on our previous visit. Now, we're looking fwd to going deeper into the country and seeing some other cities.
@@TheYarbros You should go to the provinces. Chiriquí, Darien, Bocas del Todo, there's a lot there.
Your most professional video to date! Informative, excellent camera framing, great editing. You could he in the video-advertising biz! Looks beautiful, but I hope to see if more day-to-day diversity exists on the centro streets.
Thanks Sheila! We're working on some new skills. We hope to show more soon.
Can't wait to see your video on the day to day life of the black Panamanian.. the tall buildings are beautiful but have low occupancy correct...tell us why And gentrification...
My beloved homeland, my amazing Panama city. Thank you guys, from a Panamanian living in Canada!!!!!!!
Hello and thanks!
how do i go to Canadá I'm from Panama
Whew! Great content! Editing 💯 Can't wait for the next one ☺️
Can't wait to get it to you! Thanks for tuning in!
Rondel and April you guys are amazing and you are doing your thing. I watched this video 2x. Love how wherever you go you get to know the locals and show support. I’m personally against Gentrification for the obvious reasons but in support of it for what it will bring to cities, states etc such as tourism and economic growth for local businesses that are able to withstand and compete with the larger business. It’s unfortunate many people will suffer and possibly increase homelessness. Take care! Stay safe 🙏🏾 With that said I will be adding Panama to my list 😀
Excellent video! You guys are ready to do a movie. Thank you for showing us this iconic city.😊
😁😆😭 Yeah!!! We're ready!
I really liked your video. I was disappointed it was over so soon. I’d love to see more of Panama through your eyes.
It's lovely. Thank you for taking us along
We enjoy the company! -Blessings
I have been watching you guys for a couple of years, love your informative videos and watching you both walking on the beach, it hit me what a beautiful couple you guys are! Keep the videos coming!!! Love you guys!!
Thank you for hanging with us for so long! We appreciate your kind words and your support!
I've just been there for two weeks trying to understand if it could be the right place to relocate with my family. I've been amazed by the city and its skyline but I had loved the most Albrook and Clayton area with their beautiful houses surrounded by that tropical and unstoppable nature.
Ohh, I am sure you'll make the right decision for you and your family.
The End!??
I was just settling in to watch MORE!!
Great video‼️
😁 more is coming. Love that you loved it!
You did a great job with this video and the summary. I just moved from New Jersey to Panamá last year and I love it here.
Glad you enjoyed our flow! I hope the city continues to treat you well!
What area did u end up moving too
Okkaayy I love the vibe of this video. Love the b-roll and the music. And I see yall getting it in at the gym. Get it! lol
Love to hear it! Trying some new things...in the gym and in camera! Thanks for hanging out!
Great, great video!! We visited Panama City during a layover, but like yall said, only a stopover. It wasn't long enough. Would love to go back and experience the fullness of the city. Looking forward to your next video. 🙂
Thanks for hanging out and enjoying the vid guys! It's def worth a little time and we are looking fwd to going deeper and showcasing this country. Thanks again for rolling with us!
Hi guys 👋🏽 I have a friend who's from Panama I've been there since 2018 and the city is fabulous, we didn't stay the small town where she grew up we stayed in the touristy areas, the restaurants and shops are amazing, took alot of pictures ate alot places we did little shopping, did some seenery etc.. to me Panama it was a beautiful place and it is safe, took back all those memories back to Chicago. Thank you guys I enjoy this video.stay safe.🙏🏾🤗
It is an amazing city to explore!
Thank you so much for visiting us, great video.
Really glad you enjoyed it and it's our pleasure to visit here. Thanks for hosting us!
Loved the video! That’s my beautiful Patria!!!❤️❤️❤️
I hope you get to enjoy authentic Panamanian cuisine! November is our patriotic month and if you want to see more culture you should definitely visit again... or stay!
I also want to add that the quality of the video is amazing! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
God bless you guys!
Thank you very much for the information, the invite compliment and for watching!
Nice!!!! I look forward to seeing more of Panama!
Looking forward to showing it to you!!! 😄
This was so fly..My dad grew up in Panama as a teen and I have always been drawn...We shall see! Imara in Brazil
We're glad you think so, thank you!
what a good video my friend, I liked it, thanks for sharing it
thanks!
We appreciate the effort you put into your editing.
I appreciate that!
Wow I loved everything about this video ! I booked a stopover in Panama thanks to you guys. To be honest I had never considered visiting! Now I know what to see and wish I could stay longer! Panama Tourism should work with you !
I'll mention you if I end up in one of the places you mentioned in the video. Thank you 🙏🏾
What a great idea! We're sending them our media kit today! Enjoy your stay-over!
You guys are such a Cool couple🤗❤️🦾 Love It! God bless you both🙏🏽✈️
Thank you! 😁
As a Panamanian raise in America a great word would be along the lines of "bridge". As it bridges everything in the Americas together not just physically. Maybe just all-encompassing. But I absolutely agree with your words as well. Great video, glad you stayed safe!
I like the bridge it makes perfect sense....or hub or the connection. Thanks for watching and contributing.
great job you guys and very honest.
Thank you!
Nice & informative! We'll definitely have to stop by a few of the recommendations and also can't wait for the upcoming collaboration with House Hunters Panama.
Cheers & Safe Travels!
Cheers! Thanks for tuning in!
Excellent video, I'm English with the possibility of moving to Panama with work next year and this has been really informative :)
That's an awesome position to be in...traveling for work. Hopefully we can continue to shed some light on Panama. Thanks foe watching and talking w/ us ✌🏾
I see yall upping your video content, creativity and talent. Well done Yarbros. Sooo looking forward to this next phase and seeing what great things come for you both. Thank you! Panama, I'm coming for you :-). BTW do you need to know a lot of Spanish?
Thanks and basic Spanish will serve you fine here.
You guys have a very unique artistic filming style. Top notch music and attitudes. That's why you've gone so far. Keep it up y'all. Hope to catch up with you in our travels one day.
I’m glad to see my people traveling🇵🇦💪🏾
We glad to be out here! Thanks for stopping by fam!
#replay - Value Bomb - Much love & many thx 4 sharing this with us - Safe travels....
Many thanks and safe travels to you as well!
Beautiful video as always. Thank for the two descriptions summarized in a word, each. I can’t wait to check it out. As far as gentrification, I’m sure it could’ve been done differently. It’s always sad to know it occurred; however tourists and expats will benefit since locals’ wages don’t equate to the rent. I loved the skyline.
Thank you so much 😊
Brilliantly produced
Thank you so much! 😄
You are already Panamanian citizens, WELCOME TO Panama (Where I am from) I also wanna express to feel HAPPY you are showing NICE places to VISIT Panama...for the next time, you could go to museum, shopping in some mall, beaches and pure nature.
Hello, thank you and we will review some new places.
Thanks!
Our pleasure!
You know I wrote down those restaurant recs 😄. Thanks for that!
They're both legit...slow but good!
Thanks so much for visiting Panamá!! We're always happy to see folks from all over visit. If you'd like some additional restaurant suggestions check out The Yard and Lo Que Hay, two of my favorites! Cheers!
Thanks!!! We'll check them out!
If possible, would love to see where the displaced residents of gentrification are moving to.
I swear you're telepathic. We are working on that video...about 2 videos down the road...trying to arrange a conversation with someone...
@@TheYarbros LOL, I was also going to ask for a conversation with someone, but I thought that would be pushing it.
🤣🤣😭
To La chorrera, San Miguelito, tocumen and further out
They don’t all just leave the city. There are some very poor condition living areas. Basically projects in the city.
Well done!
Thank you!
Y’all have taken the bar up to Pole Vault height. There were so many things to like about the style of this video. Dang! This was film school stuff. My question how long did it take to shoot and edit before you post? I know y’all had a shot list?
Freaking Phenomenal work! Hats off. Y’all ready for NetFlix. Just don’t forget the little people.
Thank you brother! Really appreciate that feedback. We definitely planned to be more intentional about some of the scenes and it took some time. Outside of the planning and shooting, the editing alone took 2 full days (as in 48 hours with a few naps in between).
@@TheYarbros Y’all keep this up, one of them streaming services will come calling. Proud to say I met y’all.
Glad y'all enjoyed Panama
Appreciate that! It's a country that we are glad we stopped in.
Great Vid 🇵🇦🌎
Muchas gracias!
That passport is stamped up..lol..Great content fam
Thank you....and yes it is!
Welcome to Panama guys enjoy your stay
Thank you!
Yes indeed El Caribe is one of my favorite places to eat and them Ox tails are fire 🔥 also The chicken wings Pineapple ginger wings spicy 🌶 that flavor is crazy! I am working now on making Panama my home in the future. My wife is from Panama so I have family there and that makes it so much easier. Enjoy the beautiful Panama 🇵🇦 and it’s wonderful people.
Had those wings too lol Great food!
Yeaaaa guys get that salsa on! 🔥💃🏻🕺🏻
Ayee! Salsa is Life....Deeply want to learn to Tango then hit Buenos Aires! Life goals lolz. Hope you guys are doing well. Thanks for stopping by!
@@TheYarbros yesss tango is 🔥 🔥👏🏼 looking forward to seeing those moves! Saludos amigos 😊
It’s been a while since I’ve watched one of your videos (our own channel keeps us so busy 😭) but I’ve missed your energy! Love your style and wait, did you get a dog??? Lol
Lolz naw, we were pet sitting to stay in the owners condo. Ik the feeling you are either consuming or creating....its hard to do both. Thanks for the props!
Welcome to Panama 🇵🇦, regards
Gracias!
Chicago had (still has?) programs for displaced residents due to gentrification: High rises built with state funds had to allow at least 10% of the apartments to be Section 8. So, someone paying 3k/mo. lives next door to someone paying $700 for the same apartment. Needless to say, there’s always a waitlist those meeting the low income requirements. Thank you for showing us this side of Panama City. The Yarbros are like a box of chocolates -you never know what you’re gonna get😊
I respect how the states deal w/ gentrification....when communities rise up and make noise. We're asking around to see if they have any similar programs here.
I used to work at a women's shelter and housing directors would move very attractive homeless women to the front of that waiting list for "little favors" if you know what I mean. Those apartments set aside for section 8 in luxury buildings are to die for, and some people are willing to do some unsavory things to move into one.
@@guillermogouldburn763 Evil desire lurks everywhere but the notion of balancing the scales w/ a seasoning of these types of programs is the point and I think it's a great one.
Yessssss…do it Yarbros! 👏🏽
Blessings beyond Blessings to you and yours: the collab with Househunters; 100k followers; business growth and opportunities, etc. etc.
Also, tell Ms. April that beautiful strands of black Sister Locs would look good on her.
~Peace and Love and Good Fortune ✈️ 🏙
*Proverbs 18:16
We’re open and believing for ALL blessings meant for us! Thank you 🙏🏾
Btw, I’m following an IG acct w/sister locs now. Love the look but not quite ready to pull that trigger.
Blessings!
@@TheYarbros absolutely…definitely understand about the beautiful tresses. I’m not quite ready for permanent locs either, but found a work around by wearing them as a style.
I usually 2 strand twist 250-300 micro locs and wear them for a few months, and then take them down to let the fro flow freely - and then repeat! 😆 Really enjoy being able to experience both worlds whenever I want to!
Looking forward to your next upload.
~Take care
Great production value. You spend a lot of time framing your shots. It’s a lot of effort and it shows.
Most ppl don't notice that they notice the frames lol Thanks....its a labor of love!
This guy is simpler to me when it comes to beautification of any major city. He's love a great and beautiful skyline and so do I. I live in the largest city in Kansas, which I refer to as a large town. It have ZERO skyline, lol
This is my hometown, but i ended up coming to college up in the US and i love the change of seasons and weather. It is hot there all the time and i don’t have the money to get out of that weather, so i have stayed in the US. YES, it is a nice town, just too hot all the time…
You are right about this heat. Even in the rainy season it's burning up and humid. Thanks for watching.
Thank you for this high-quality and detailed review. I also appreciate the truth about gentrification. Much love!
Our pleasure! Thanks for supporting us with your views and comments! -Blessings
Looking Healthy thank you
Thank you....we're trying!
The word Greed comes to mind & I'm feeling you on that urge for a cup of coffee.☕ My Cafe Duran stash is done.🙄 The last time I was at Casco Viejo it was more like the building that April posed in front of. In what country did you pick up your cute canine friend? I was surprised due to travel & boarder crossing issues, but your Squad is lovely.
Thanks, we were dogsitting for a friend.
Thank you for this video. I am contemplating visiting Panama in the winter, or either Guatemala. I have been watching another young ladies you tube videos about Panama, and she is Panamanian. It's nice to get many different perspectives and visuals. So gentrification rears its ugly head everywhere, and prices the locals out of prime areas. I guess there is no way to escape it, unless you can adapt to a more rustic and natural place.
Thanks for tuning in. I hope you are able to make that decision... its a tough one.
Great video and in about 10 minutes, were able to hit on some of the hot topics and issues we as Panamanians face on a daily basis, ie. Increased cost of living. Is there a way to balance this out for middle income local households at the rate US dollars are being invested to attract foreign investment and tourism, ie. infrastructure? That is the $10k question. Well done, lots more to see and experience, please come back!
We talked to quite a few Panamanians and inflation was the hottest topic. I am now wondering if it is the same throughout the country or is it solely concentrated in the city.
Omg family I was one of your day one you guys are up to 36k wow and wow. So happy and proud of you two. I have been busy relocating I subscribed under another name in past. Hey guys I have relocated to Otay Tijuana just to finish taking care of business in San Diego. Guys I started a company yet I want to have more income are you guys still doing online teaching. Or do you have any remote job leads? I do not have social media at this time. Doing old-school networking right now lol. I plan to be a solo black female travel vlogger. I definitely have to stay tuned with you guys you are making moves. Did I say how proud I am of you two?🥰 One Luv ❤💛💚!!!
Yhank you for supporting our channel for so long. Money suggestions....get published, write a book, put together a recipe book...make a class for ppl to take some great platforms out here for that too.
@@TheYarbros Thanks family my company actually will be doing all the things you listed. All those things have prices to be done with greatness and not hustle. Just trying to ensure stable travel and living costs. I know you guys are busy thank you for your time. Will still be team Yarbros and well wishes.
Hey guys been a while
Hope your doing well
Looks like a massive place concrete Jungle with some actual Jungle inside ha
Take care you 2 wonderful people 🥰
Cheers from 2 Canadians living on the Gulf of Mexico
J&D ✌️🇨🇦🇲🇽🙏
Hey Jennifer and Darryle! Thanks for tuning in. It is a bit like a concrete jungle lol. One article we read called it the Manhattan of Latin America. Haven't ventured to the jungle side yet!
@@TheYarbros haha nice, enjoy you crazy kids 🙏✌️😍
Great production!
Let me know if y’all need a dog sitter
😄 Will do! Glad you enjoyed the show!
Loved the video. Thank you. Quick question: where did you stay? It looked like the Yoo building. Was it?
Thanks! We stayed at a building called the PH Destiny. Sunday's video will talk about it!
Hey! I hope you get to eat a lot of different food!!! From home cooking to firmer, and even the national fast food like food trucks and even Pio Pío...
Haha @ Pio Pio
Thanks. I've been there about 4 years ago. I'm considering a move to Panama, but not the City. I'm considering Las Tablas.
Yeah, if we make this move it will not be in the city either.
❤ Panama
One thought if you're buying real estate in Panama city it would be interesting to see sea level rise projections in the area. Example of what I'm talking about Miami and Miami beach. Hyper expensive yet going underwater slowly but surely
We hear you!
Don't forget to try cafe Costa Azul 😉.
It's on the list and we ate looking fwd to it!
I found the socialization of Panama to be very similar to the USA, it felt more so then in Costa Rica…considering the various skin colors that many had in Panama as opposed to Costa Rica, I find that interesting. I feel that while the people genetically are diverse, I sense the people segregate from the blacks. They socialized much less with each other then certain parts of South America. The people desired to kick out, when talking to the people there were of a darker hue and they tend to be the people receiving lower wages. The people in the trenches that build the Panama Canal are of a darker hue. Gentrification will continue until there is a value for the progenitors of Reggaton, the Panama Canal and overall culture of Panama. Income mixing in the neighborhoods would help stave off the displacement of the inhabitants.
Thanks for the reflective response!
Casco Viejo is not the original old city. La Ciudad Antigua is the original which comprises a national park on the outskirts of the city. It was destroyed by the pirate Henry Morgan towards the end of the 17th century. It is basically a city of ruins. It is a very peaceful place, but well worth a visit. Everything is labeled in English and Spanish. Casco Viejo is the second old capital. From Elaine la profe de espańol en NJ
Yes, we found out after we produced this video. Thanks for the correction!
Lovely couple. Was there a few months ago and want to return in a month or so but I hear its rainy season. How was the weather?
Rainy and humid but also sunny at some point during the day.
Oh forgot to mention: This video quality is phenomenal!fire 🔥🔥
Thank Youuuuuu!
Thank you...we tryin!

Hey y’all Hughie here haven’t seen you guys in awhile,i am coming down end of June
Hey! Hope you enjoy the city!
I dont think i got the budget for city rentals i will move to Arraijar or La Chorrera . Just go in to the city for food concerts,fun
Nothing makes me happier to see my black brothers and sisters in my dream country.
My dream is to retire here someday. Love the country so much.
Hey guys...planning a trip to Panama City...Any rec's for Airbnbs? Thanks!
Great information. My wife and I are headed to Panama City in July, from the U.S. Do we need shots, before we head there? Staying at a resort. Thank you!!!
It's complicated we're vaxxed and you're supposed to be when you come here but no one asked for our actual records when we came...so idk.
No you don't need. You only need a test to get in the country.
@@ei1978ll thanks!
Great editing! Mrs. Yarbos, how do you feel about being left-handed once you travel to Africa? My husband is left-handed and he is afraid of offending others.
Ooo I haven’t even thought much about that. I can adapt, although Im sure I’ll slip up a few times.
Can do something on the Air B& B, cost what area is it in.
Working on it...
I was thinking "kleptocracy" as my one word to describe Panama.

Hi, thanks for the video. Are you still living there? Could you please let me know about the living cost, is a safe city, is secure walking around, biking. Food, is good?. Supermarkets?, Transportation?. How much money , monthly is enough for living?.
What area of the city is a good one, affordable and safe?.
Thanks

Wait is this to be featured on House Hunters International the TV show?
I wish lol! No, there's a luxury real estate company here called House Hunters Panama and we're working on a collab with them.
How do you connect with a Panamá Lawyer?
Depends on what type you need but Facebook groups are great for recommendations.
Panama City is on my short list for retirement. The Pensioner Visa is what's up!!!!
lol
Alright! Hopefully we can provide some good info for you!
Very informative. The government could have invested in the areas prior to it being gentrified. Minimum wage should be raised.
Is a lot more to see like the old city called Panama la vieja you guys where close to it, about the people that use to live in casco viejo where relocated to government financed homes the reason why this other homes look so bad is because this is the way they force the people out live the buildings to fall apart once they are damaged people goes out and then the development start
Yes, we went there but those cuts didn't make this video. We will be going back to do a more comprehensive perspective for the people who are interested. Thanks for watching and commenting! We appreciate you!
I Live in panama
Hola!
My word is Legacy
Okay!
What hotel is that
Colon is next...
I don't know. It doesn't seem like a retirement location on paper but we'll see...
@@TheYarbros Next to be gentrified...sorry I wasn't clear
Panama is a mixing of cultures and races (melting pot) and panamanians are proud of this. According to the united nations (UN) is one of the most mixed countries in the world. In other words panamanians are the real united colors of benetton
It is definitely diverse and we love that!
Hi, very well presented. I came up with gorgeously conflicted. You've got the abandoned impovished people and then you have the gorgeous delights of a beautiful skyline coupled with access to whatever your hearts desire. What comes to mine is that Capital One question: What's in your wallet? hmmm 🤔I always look forward to your videos. Keep them coming. ♥
Youre right! It always comes down to what's in your wallet....especially here! Appreciate you!
Excellent
Do native Panamanian people live in the luxury condos or is it all people from abroad?
We haven't met any yet but I am sure they do.
I thought you were going to show some places from house hunters Panama?
Not on this video. This is our intro and 1st Impressions of the city.
Unfortunately, the local and foreign investors are pricing out all locals all over the Caribbean Basin. The Caribbean Basin today is the best place to retire in the World because dollars and euros here take you a very long way, unlike in many other places. New sources of employment in this region, especially in medical sciences and it technologies, require good education and empowerment. There is only basic government funding in education.
True, we had a conversation w/ an indigenous woman in Antigua, Guatemala and she was explaining how her entire tribe are craftsmen and don't have the education/ skillsets to leverage expat dollars more. Broke my heart because these governments and multinational companies are pilfering every euro/ dollar they can get.
Who's dog?
