We asked retirees what it is like retiring in Mexico. They said...

"Ajijic is definitely a retirement area. The majority of the expat population appears to be over 60... That said, there are numerous cultural activities plus exploratory trips around the area and other Mexico venues. Night life is somewhat subdued...but at 75 bed time comes early for us.," said a member in Lake Chapala, Mexico.

"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," remarked another expat who made the move to Mexico.
