Do you know one of the best places in the world to retire? A place where you can find a spring-like climate, with moderate temperatures and ever-blooming flowers and trees, all year. Where even the multi-million dollar mansions are built without air conditioners or furnaces because heating and air conditioning are unnecessary. A place that will reduce your living expenses by 30-50%, yet still leave plenty of room in the budget for you to hire a maid and gardener. A healthy environment that is just what the doctor ordered with the freshest fruit and vegetables to be found anywhere on the planet. An area where you will find some of the best health and dental care at half the price of the United States. A place that is brimming with diversity, culture, and history so that it is almost impossible to be bored for even an hour. A country where expatriates are so welcome that they pay no taxes.

This place is within driving distance of the United States' border. Flights arrive from all over the world every day of the week. Paradise has never been so accessible.

But you must forget what you have seen in border towns or even in the world-class resorts. That is not the “real Mexico.” As dowdy as the border towns are, or as flashy as Cancun may be, these are not places that offer the best year-round living. The area most expatriates head to is central Mexico where the highlands offer a Shangri-La no other place can match.

If you'd like to explore one of the typical retirement towns in central Mexico but don't have the time to do so right now, why not visit the Chapala area and the towns of Chapala and Ajijic from the comfort of your living room. The video will do all the work for you!

So, come along on a visit to these small Mexican villages. In Ajijic, you'll stroll the cobblestone streets, peek into stores, linger in the plaza, and feel as though you've made the grand tour. You'll see Lake Chapala, the largest lake in Mexico, the soaring mountains that surround the town, and some of the neighborhoods that make up this enchanting bit of paradise. You'll know why the beauty of Ajijic has captured the hearts of so many Americans, Canadians, and Europeans.

Are you curious about the accommodations you'll find when you do make a trip? The video will introduce you to a typical hotel and a B&B that offer all the comforts you have at home, as well as provide many luxurious amenities.

Have you wondered what your house-dollars will buy in Mexico? In the video you will be guided through a few homes so you can check out the real estate. Remember, there is a beautiful place, in every price range, waiting for you in Mexico
To help you understand why Ajijic is such a comfortable place for expatriates to live, you will tour the town of Chapala, home of the American Legion Post; visit an arts festival, typical of the many cultural events sponsored for expatriates; and see The Lake Chapala Society, a complex of lovely buildings and gardens that provides a home-away-from-home for foreigners.
