Retire in Guatemala

"Life for a retiree in Guatemala and its surroundings can be quite enjoyable. There is an active expat community, with many retirees from the United States and Europe living in the area. There are plenty of cultural attractions to explore, such as the ancient Mayan ruins, colonial architecture, and vibrant markets. There is also plenty of recreation to be had, from hiking in the mountains to exploring the many lakes and rivers. For those looking for nightlife, there are plenty of bars and restaurants to choose from, as well as live music and dancing," said one retiree in living in Guatemala.

"Retirement in Antigua is fantastic. Lots of expats to meet and compare notes and recommendations. Relatively safe, lots of shops, foods, and a live where tourists visit BUT it has the locals living there and adds to the natural surroundings. So much to do, a drive to the coast or Guat city or Lake Atitlan , but in the highlands with cooler weather, and history and culture surrounds you," explained a retiree in Guatemala.
