Living in Quepos & Manuel Antonio would be a dream come true for people such as myself. This is one of Costa Rica's most charming travel areas and has lot of nature activities to offer the outdoors' person. In addition, Costa Rica is ranked as one of the best countries to live in, if you are interested in moving to Latin America.

Living in Costa Rica might be a bit different than in your home country. Costa Rica is ranked as better than other Latin countries for many things such as crime, but it has its issues. If you hail from a former British colony or from northern European country, you likely won't be accustomed to the trials and tribulations that are found in Latin countries. There is a "red tape" problem in most, if not, all Latin countries. Dealing with red tape requires patience and diplomacy (and often, money). And, although, most westerners believe that they can cope with these issues, many find that it grinds on the nerves and, eventually, impacts the quality of life.

I would highly recommend if you are thinking about living in a Latin country, such as Costa Rica, try renting a place for a stretch of time and test the waters before committing full time. Some people cope better than others. Also, some communities are more interested in receiving foreigners than others.

Quepos is a little bit more expensive than other coastal towns in Costa Rica. You will need a better budget to survive here, then other less touristy spots in Costa Rica. There are services, such as a school, Internet, hardware store, groceries and so on. The locals survive from travel and tourism. Many ex pats run travel and tourism businesses from here. One of the reasons to come here is for the outstanding fishing.
