welcome to watchmojo.com and today we’re
counting down our picks for the top 10
latin-american countries to live in for
this list we’re counting down the most
ideal places to live in Latin America
and why and we’re doing this by
factoring in the cost of living and the
overall cultural vibe of each individual
location among other things number 10
Ecuador situated along the Pacific Ocean
and just south of Colombia this country
has long been known for its hospitable
ways and for the English speaking
proficiency of its inhabitants of course
if you’re living in Ecuador you’ll
obviously want to immerse yourself in
the local customs
perhaps in the city of cuenca now a
world heritage site as yet another perk
you’ve got the Galapagos Islands as a
nearby vacation destination what’s the
cost some report that a family of three
can easily get by on just eleven
thousand dollars a year but even twice
that would be a bargain
number nine Panama
widely regarded as one of the optimal
destinations for retirees many
expatriates come to this latin-american
country for the phenomenal health care
coverage and yes the scenery is most
definitely a plus as the connecting
piece of land between Costa Rica and
Colombia Panama serves as a beautiful
gateway between North and South America
however one can travel to anywhere in
the world from its capital Panama City
by the way even though the Balboa is
Panama’s official currency the US dollar
is considered legal tender everywhere
whether you’re living solo or hitched up
the cost of living is simply insanely
cheap number eight Peru while some of us
take pleasure and fixed routines of
social behavior you may find yourself a
bit more relaxed in the embracing arms
of this latin-american country located
just south of Ecuador Peru’s capital
city of Lima draws plenty of attention
but don’t forget the Andes and of course
one of the new seven wonders of the
world Machu Picchu and if you need a cab
well there are no fixed meters you just
set a price before getting in
archaeology seafood plus there’s so much
natural beauty to explore here and the
welcoming communities keep people coming
back and choosing to stay for good
number seven Brazil given the size and
beauty of this Latin American country we
know why many visit Brazil but why do
people decide to stay well how about the
cheap food and undeniable charisma of
its inhabitants it’s well known that
Brazilians take special joy in welcoming
new citizens and their health care
packages make for a more accessible
lifestyle and that’s the essence of
living in Brazil lifestyle whether
you’re inland or on the coast you can
always find something magical for
entertainment as the social events in
Brazil tend to be a little more colorful
number six
Bolivia walk slowly eat lightly and
sleep by yourself or as the locals say
kameena lent itto koumei poquito heed
where may solito this country isn’t for
everybody
such as Millennials that are easily
annoyed by inconveniences but some of
you older mojo holics may enjoy a
permanent home
the capital city of Sucre or perhaps in
the air up there in Lapith there’s a lot
going on in this smaller country with 36
recognized languages besides Spanish and
with its close proximity to both Brazil
and the Andes one can’t go wrong setting
up shop in a place like Cochabamba
number five Chile though the northern
tip of this country borders with Bolivia
the southernmost tip couldn’t be further
from that country and that’s why Chile
has so much potential for curious expats
as the country’s unique shape and almost
4000 mile coastline offers a variety of
landscapes and lifestyles first of all
Chile has the highest standard of living
in Latin America that’s important one
can immerse oneself either in the rich
urban culture or perhaps in the great
outdoors it really depends on whether
you’re more of a Santiago type or
someone more interested in isolation and
it appears to be quickly on its way to
becoming a first world country with
first-class efficiency number four Costa
Rica you’ve likely heard the phrase puta
vida and you’ve probably heard of the
awe-inspiring zipline excursions but
there’s one particular reason that folks
like to live in Costa Rica it’s the
happiest place in the world or at least
it is according to the New Economics
foundation’s Happy Planet Index which it
topped twice is that true for everybody
well no of course not
but one can live a carefree life in
close proximity to both the city of San
Jose while basking in the raw essence of
natural wildlife there are expats
aplenty in Costa Rica which can either
be a burden or an asset depending on
your point of view
number three Mexico forget about
partying for only a week in Mexico and
open your eyes to the surrounding
culture and what could be a most
pleasant way of life make no mistake
there are dangerous parts of Mexico but
a little research will help you mark
those off your list you’ll also discover
what makes each region tick naturally
many find permanent homes in the beach
towns where one can easily get by and if
you really want to go big well then
Mexico City could be your final
destination as it’s undeniably one of
the most vibrant cities
the world number to Uruguay you don’t
often hear one say hey I think it’s time
to settle down in Uruguay but you know
what it’s a gem off the beaten path and
a supremely beautiful country it’s both
family-friendly and dripping with
excitement first of all the former
president Jose Mujica actually donated
90% of his salary to the poor which is a
big statement Uruguay is also a bit more
liberal than most countries so it’s a
place with free education legal
marijuana and same-sex marriage and
finally Punta del Este is known as one
of the most party happy locations in the
world before we unveil our number one
pick here are some honorable mentions
number one Argentina if you’re not
