Mexico has been called the
world’s top international
retirement destination.
That’s one of the simple – and
enticing – facts of life in Mexico: You
get more for your lifestyle buck. And
that’s why this picturesque and fascinating
country is a retirement destination
of choice for hundreds of thousands
of empty nesters from North
America and beyond.
Dating back to 1519, Mexico is
steeped in history. Colonial cities, heritage
landmarks, archaeological attractions
and 26 natural and cultural World
Heritage Sites speak to its rich culture.
But this is also a land of great contrast,
diversity and opportunity.
Cosmopolitan cities, museums,
music, live entertainment, and international-class
leisure, cultural and recreational
activities abound.
Health care, highways, telephone
and internet – all the services and conveniences
for quality of life are well
established. What’s more, since goods
and services are less expensive here,
you can afford the kind of life that
would be out of reach closer to home.
How about having a maid? A gardener?
A cook? Imagine owning a
beachfront property or a beautiful old
colonial home in a scenic, heritage
community. How about a spacious
home or condo along one of the country’s
acclaimed golf courses?
You can also choose the climate
that suits you best. Weather differs significantly
by region and season. The
coasts tend to be tropical – hot and
humid. Inland, at higher altitudes,
you’ll fine pleasant, spring-like weather
practically year ’round. Northern
Mexico experiences hot, dry weather.
Wherever you go, you can kiss those
snow tires goodbye.
This is a land of variety. It’s safe,
friendly and the pace is refreshingly
laid back. Since the landscape, the
opportunties and the regions are so
varied and distinct, you’re sure to find
a wonderful place that can be your
own, personal retirement paradise in
Mexico.
