"Expats considering retirement in Quetzaltenango, should be aware that the city offers a lower cost of living compared to many Western countries. They should also know that Spanish is the primary language spoken, so learning the language can greatly enhance their experience. The city has a temperate climate, with temperatures rarely exceeding 77 degrees Fahrenheit, which may be a significant change for those accustomed to colder or hotter climates. Healthcare in Quetzaltenango is generally good, with several hospitals and clinics available, but it may not be up to the standards some expats are used to. Expats should also be aware that while the city is generally safe, crime can be an issue, particularly theft and robbery, so it's important to take precautions. Public transportation is widely available in Quetzaltenango, but it can be crowded and unreliable. Many expats choose to drive, but they should be prepared for challenging road conditions and traffic. Quetzaltenango offers a rich cultural experience, with many festivals, markets, and historical sites to explore. However, expats should be respectful of local customs and traditions. Finally, expats should know that while Guatemala does have an established expat community, it is not as large or as organized as in some other countries. Therefore, it may take some time to establish a social network," mentioned another expat when asked about moving to Quetzaltenango, Guatemala.
