We asked retirees what it is like retiring in Mexico. They said...
"Retirees in Mexico and its surrounding areas can lead an active lifestyle filled with outdoor activities, cultural attractions, and plenty of recreation and nightlife. Many expats find Mexico a great destination to retire as it offers a rich cultural life, friendly locals to connect with, as well as natural beauty and warm climate. Whether it is fishing, golfing, horseback riding, exploring ancient ruins, or wandering through lively local markets, there are plenty of activities to keep people of all ages active and engaged. For those looking for nightlife, the cultural capital of Mexico City offers an array of bars, traditional tequila tasting, and a vibrant night-club scene. Additionally, there are beautiful beaches, stunning colonial villages, and intriguing archaeological sites to explore," mentioned another expat when asked about moving to Mexico.
"We live in Cozumel but travel to Merida often. Beautiful city with many benefits, Great Restaurants, Night Life and hot as hades in the summer," commented one expat who made the move to Merida, Mexico.
