Low-cost car rental Santiago Panama - from 9€/day

Santiago de Veraguas is the capital of the Republic of Panama's province of Veraguas, as well as the district or municipality of the same name. The property is situated in the countryside, close to the Pan American Highway. It is bounded on the north by the San Francisco District, on the south by the Montijo District, on the east by the Atalaya District, and on the west by the La Mesa District. According to data from the Republic of Panama's most recent census, it has a population of around 60,000 people (2014).

Santiago serves as a transportation center for the province of Veraguas, with buses operating frequently to the region's smaller towns. It is well linked to the rest of the nation and has traditionally functioned as a stopping place for travelers traveling from Panama City to other regions of the country, such as Chitré and David. Its central location has been exploited to its advantage, supporting the building of key highways and bridges connecting the rest of the Veraguas province. The Pan-American Highway runs through the city, and inhabitants have access to public transit. Santiago, like many other cities in Panama, lacks high-rises and instead retains a more colonial design and vibe. Modern structures may be seen all across the city, particularly in retail malls, banks, and government offices. Its colonial roots are rich in historical significance, as evidenced by the Juan Demóstenes Arosemena Normal School, which has been designated as a national historical monument, the Regional Museum of Veraguas, and the St. James the Apostle Cathedral. The city is served by two major hospitals: the Dr. Luis "Chicho" Fábrega Hospital on the outskirts of town and the Dr. Horacio Dáz Gómez Polyclinic. Other minor public and private health care institutions may be located around the city. Various infrastructure projects, including the enhancement of road and public space quality, as well as the burying of electric lines along Avenida Central, have been undertaken in recent years.

Santiago has 2000 hotel rooms, pensions, and temporary flats.
