The United
Mexican States, or
simply Mexico, is the
fifth-largest country in
the Americas by total
area and 14th largest in
the world. It is the
11th most populous
country and the most
populous
Spanish-speaking country
in the world. As the
only Latin American
member of the
Organization for
Economic Co-operation
and Development (OECD)
since 1994, Mexico is
firmly established as an
upper middle-income
country. American and
Canadian citizens have
been looking south of
the border for decades
to make their vacation
getaways and enjoy the
milder climate, rich
history, colorful
cultural diversity and
warm hospitality that
Mexico offers to her
foreign guests. Cities
like Cancun, Acapulco,
Veracruz, Mazatlan,
Puerto Vallarta,
Rosarito Beach, Ensenada
and Los Cabos have been
some of the most popular
tourist destinations.
Retire in Mexico Have you
ever thought about
retiring in Mexico? How
about retiring in one of
its many lovely
retirement havens? There
are seven major areas
where American and
Canadian retirees tend
to congregate. While
there may be a few
expatriates scattered in
a dozen villages
throughout Mexico, most
Americans and Canadians
settle in one of seven
locations: San Miguel de
Allende, Mazatlan,
Oaxaca, Guadalajara,
Lake Chapala, Southern
Baja and the Northern
Baja area of Rosarito
Beach to Ensenada which
is just a short drive
across the border from
San Diego.
