Costa Rica: Still One Of The Best Countries In The World For Seniors

Whenever I see excellent information I post hit on this blog. I feel it is my responsibility to spread the word about all of the incredible things Costa Rica has to offer as the world’s best retirement destination. Come test drive and sample the country on one of my monthly relocation tours. They are first logical step before making the move and you will be miles ahead if you decide to make the move. You could never do a tour like this by yourself. Find out more at: http://www.liveincostarica.com

By 2050, a quarter of Costa Rica’s population will be 60 years or older, according to projections from the Instituto Nacional de Estadisticas y Censos (INEC) – National Institute of Statistics and Census.

People, as a rule, are afraid of old age. However, nowadays more and more facts show that age brings with it positive changes.

For this reason, more and more businesses and tour operators have started to offer activities aimed at this sector and make Costa Rica one of the best countries for the elderly, both nationals and foreigners (expats).

The country is extremely attractive to seniors as vacation destination, has a variety of activities that include visits to national parks, mountain and beach resorts.

Hotels, like many other businesses, have special rates for “ciudadanos de oro” (the Spanish term for seniors). Discounts are also available for traveling by bus.

Currently, the country occupies the first position in the 2018 ranking of destinations for this population sector, prepared by International Living Magazine, surpassing Mexico, Portugal and Malaysia.”
