Originally from Long Beach, Joseph Wilmoth moved to Panama from California in 2004 when he bought his first apartment and has never looked back.

Before making the decision of moving to the Isthmus, Joe traveled all over Latin America, from Guatemala, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Colombia, Peru, Chile, Argentina, and Uruguay. But, for him, Panama was the best place for business and to enjoy life.

Joe’s first-hand experience in advertising, marketing and public relations has shaped the vision of his companies. In fact, for Joe, Panama has been a great place to live, work and grow, giving him the opportunity to participate in different projects and become the owner of Rancho Los Toros Hotel, River Ridge Resort & Spa (in construction), LIV Realty, a New Real Estate Company which operates in Panama and Colombia.

As an entrepreneur and great visionary, Joe Bought 10.2 Hectares in San Carlos in 2006 and has been expanding and growing the ideas for a “great life in the countryside” ever since. In fact, River Ridge Vacation Village is one of these projects. This is a planned community nestled in the lower foothills of San Carlos in the province of Panama West, about 2 miles above Playa El Palmar, looking for the perfect combination of green space, nature and modernity with the innovative technology that creates sustainable environments.

A phrase that has inspired Joe throughout his life says “Carpe diem”, translated “seize the day”, taken from the book of the Roman poet Horace’s Work Odes. To get in contact with Joseph, feel free to call +507 6619-1693 or via email to jwilmoth@hotmail.com
