"Before retiring in Ojochal, expats should be aware that the cost of living is relatively high compared to other parts of the country. Additionally, the area is known for its tropical climate, so expats should be prepared for hot and humid weather year-round. Expats should also be aware that the local infrastructure is limited, so it is important to research the availability of medical care, transportation, and other services before making the move. Finally, expats should be aware that the local language is Spanish, so it is important to learn some basic Spanish before arriving," explained one expat living in Ojochal, Costa Rica.
