What do I need to know before moving to Quepos?
When we asked people what advice they would give someone preparing to move to Quepos, they said...
"Quepos is a small coastal town in Costa Rica, known for its stunning beaches and lush rainforest. Expats should be aware that Quepos is a small town with limited amenities, so it is important to research the area before moving. Quepos is a great place to experience the local culture and enjoy the outdoors, but it is important to be aware of the local laws and customs. Expats should also be aware that the cost of living in Quepos is higher than in other parts of Costa Rica, so it is important to budget accordingly. Additionally, Quepos is a popular tourist destination, so it is important to be aware of the potential for increased traffic and crowds. Finally, Quepos is a great place to live, but it is important to be aware of the potential for natural disasters, such as hurricanes and earthquakes," explained one expat living in Quepos, Costa Rica.
