Hi amigos!
When I started offering relocation tours to Costa Rica in 1998 nobody was doing similar tours to Costa Rica, not to mention other countries in Latin America. Now there are retirement tours to Ecuador, Nicaragua, Mexico, and Panama.
Over the last couple of years, I have had many clients who have explored living in some of the other countries in the region by attending seminars and doing relocation tours. I think they are right in checking out other places to see which is the best for them, their particular needs, and lifestyles. However, it is interesting to note that in most cases the feedback I have received indicates that Costa Rica is by far the best place to live due to many factors like its weather, people, democratic tradition, international reputation, and user-friendliness for foreigners. It is a place where expats are treated well and feel right at home.
The people who have done several tours go on to say, “The availability and accessibility of flights (Ecuador), long distance to the ocean (Ecuador), non-democratic government (Nicaragua), fewer places to live (Panama), violence (Mexico), are the reasons they like Costa Rica and my tours”. |
