#2 San Jose? Are you kidding me? The city has to be the ugliest, dirtiest, noisiest/obnoxious, crowded, and with worst infrastructure of any capital city in all of Latin America! My Tico friends do like to go there!

I just read several great guest posts by expats who retired to Cost Rica on the site Retirement And Good Living. The blog on the site also has many other guest posts by expats who retired to other locations in Central and South America, Asia, Europe and the Caribbean.

San Isidro, also known as Perez, has a distinctly 1950′s vibe, something
many retirees relish. It does have a great Feria (Farmers Mkt.), but also
is a transportation hub, close to good beaches, close to national parks,
has good hospitals, an active expat community, and best of all, is considered to be less expensive than other towns. But the chance to relive the 50s where kids play safely, animals roam around happily, folks
greet each other in the street, now THAT makes Perez Lo Mejor!!!
