Mexico is the most popular expat destination for North Americans in the world, with as many as a million U.S. and Canadian citizens living there. And that number is growing.Mexico has a lot to recommend it, so these numbers aren't surprising.From the U.S. and Canada, you can drive to Mexico—in your own car—or fly there in a few hours in most cases, so living in Mexico is convenient. Mexico also offers many of the First-World conveniences we're used to—including good highways, plenty of airports, reliable telephone service, and fast Internet connections.There are many reasons expats are moving to Mexico: the vibrant local culture and rich history; the friendly people and their relaxed lifestyle; the sunny climate; the delicious food and drink; the miles (nearly 6,000) of coastline, much of it warm, sandy beach.Those moving to Mexico have so many choices…little silver mining towns where the winding streets seem to head up to the clouds…high-plains desert where you can see for miles and learn to love the nuance of muted colors…fishing villages where you can rise at dawn to buy the day's catch fresh from returning fishermen…beach towns where the sound of surf and the tang of salt water linger in the air…cosmopolitan cities where concerts and cafés abound, and where your comfortable life comes with an urban edge.Mexico has it all…rich culture, perfect climate…not to mention mountains, beaches, deserts, and just about everything in between.

Holbox: Mexico’s Enchanting and Remote Tropical Island
Just a 25-minute boat ride off the northern tip of Mexico’s Yucatán Peninsula is a sliver of an island called Holbox (pronounced ol-bosh). In the Mayan language it means “black hole.” For the increasing number of visitors (as well as a small number of pioneering—mostly part-time expats and full-time business owners) who make their way here it’s a tropical getaway that’s quite different than spots like Cancún and Playa del Carmen on the nearby Riviera Maya.
A Fun Day Out in Cancún’s Parque de las Palapas
The deep influences of centuries of Spanish occupation are clearly visible almost everywhere in Mexico, from small villages and large cities. The spectacular architecture and beautiful stonework, along with the layout of villages and cities, provide a distinctive and historic European feel throughout much of Mexico.
La Quinta Avenida: The Epicenter of Life in Playa del Carmen, Mexico
If you visited Playa del Carmen 10 or 15 years ago, you wouldn’t recognize it today. This once sleepy seaside town on Mexico’s Riviera Maya used to be primarily known as the place to catch the ferry to the island of Cozumel just offshore.
Querétaro: An Under-the-Radar Gem in Mexico’s Colonial Highlands
Santiago de Querétaro, in Mexico’s Colonial Highlands, has a lot going for it: an ideal climate, top-notch but affordable medical care, a well-kept Spanish colonial centro, friendly local people, and much more.
Enjoy Peace and Tranquility in Mahahual, Mexico
The southern part of Mexico’s Caribbean coast is a mostly undeveloped stretch of stunning, isolated beach called the Costa Maya. Unlike the tourist-driven beaches of the Riviera Maya further north, this length of coastline snuggles up against lowland jungle for some 62 miles and is largely inaccessible by road.
