The cost of utilities such as electricity, heating, cooling, water, and garbage is also quite low. Groceries are also affordable, with local markets offering fresh produce at reasonable prices. Eating out at restaurants is also inexpensive, with a meal at an inexpensive restaurant costing very little. Transportation costs are also low, with a one-way ticket on local transport being quite cheap. Healthcare in Rivas is also affordable, with a private doctor’s visit costing a fraction of what it would in many western countries. Fitness and sports activities are also reasonably priced. However, it's important to note that while these costs may seem low to foreigners, they may still be high for locals due to the average income level in Nicaragua. The cost of living can also vary depending on lifestyle and personal spending habits," mentioned another expat when asked about moving to Rivas, Nicaragua.
