Let the Adventure Begin

Coast versus the Highlands

Many are drawn to Mexico’s almost 7,000 miles of shoreline. Others find comfort across Mexico’s interior. Discuss your favorites for year-round living and why.

Baja (Norte)

For those wanting US access, familiar amenities, English-speaking communities, and great (So Cal) weather, Baja California could be the right choice. Having a local Costco can’t hurt, right?

Baja Sur

Anchored by Los Cabos and flanked by both the Pacific and Sea of Cortes, Baja Sur has been attracting season and year-round expats for decades. It’s also Latin America’s golf, fishing, and luxury resort leader

Pacific Mexico

Some many beaches, so little time! Mexico’s Pacific Riviera spans hundreds of miles of sandy shore. Villages, towns and world-class resorts dot the coast, and MEXpats enjoy the stunning beauty and familiar assets for year-around living.

Caribe Mexicano

For many, the idea of living on/near a Caribbean Island is intoxicating. Quintana Roo offers an array of choices, mainland, and offshore living under a Caribbean sun.

Lake Chapala Area

The birthplace of retirement overseas, the Chapala area has been luring expats since the 1940’s. Come and explore why this area is singular in appealing to the key criteria for Mexico living.

Guadalajara

Mexico’s second-largest city, Guadalajara is an urban experience laced with small-town pockets of tranquility and charm. Many say it’s the ideal mix; culture, concerts, Costco, and a comfortable lifestyle in a spring-like climate.

Guanajuato & Querétaro

Home to iconic San Miguel de Allende, Guanajuato is one of Mexico’s most culturally endowed states (and currently facing major security challenges). Neighboring Queretaro is an undiscovered jewel, and home to one of Mexico’s finest senior living facilities.

Michoacán State

Michoacán, not unlike Oaxaca is a colorful quilt of Amerindian cultural heritage. Capital Morelia is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Village like Pátzcuaro are home to Expat seeking a more authentic Mexico encounter amidst spectacular mountains, lakes and a pristine Pacific shore.

Mexico City Area

Say what?! Yes, Mexico City can be an ideal retirement choice, once you deal with altitude, air quality and a frenzied urban pace. It remains one of the world’s great capital cities. There are so many reasons to explore…

Cuernavaca Area

Once a highly regarded retirement mecca, Cuernavaca and surrounding Morelos state are still an attractive choice for those wanting proximity to CDMX attractions and country living.

Oaxaca, Chiapas

Further south and steeped in Mesoamerican culture and diversity, this region is spot on for those wanting true Mexico immersion experiences and living choices that include coast, valleys and highland areas. Not to be missed…

Puebla

South and east of CDMX are one of Mexico’s true cultural mega-destinations. It ranks high for its urban and village living experiences, modernity, an international airport, and a historic landscape almost unsurpassed in Mexico.

Yucatán

Yucatan state occupies the western third of this famed peninsula. Its capital Merida is an enticing choice for adult living.

“Greg took the time to tour us around the lakeside acquainting us with more of the area before making a buying decision. We plan to use him as a continued resource for the Lakeside area and frankly all of Mexico due to his vast knowledge of the entire country.”

“This walking tour was absolutely enchanting! Gregory is a wonderful storyteller, and you will learn a lot of interesting details and secrets about the history of Ajijic. In addition, Gregory has an expertise in what it means to retire in Mexico. He has a lot of perspective and can offer insight and answer questions if you were thinking about retiring in this area. I accompanied my mom on this tour, as she's thinking about retiring in this area. I also got a lot out of the tour and really enjoyed the stories about the murals, The visit to Lake Chapala society, and the Tuesday market. We even got a chance encounter with one of the areas most famous artists, Javier Zaragoza! And because Gregory knows him, we were able to have a nice chat and listen to a story from his past. I highly recommend a walking tour with Gregory. You will explore and learn and laugh along the way.”

“Outstanding tour with an excellent look into the beautiful village of Ajijic. Greg provided a wonderful mix of local history, culture, cuisine, and its role within the Lake Chapala region. I am not usually one for city tours, but Greg's was interesting and engaging throughout - and he was an excellent person to spend a morning with.”

“Prior to becoming a travel agent 8 years ago, I designed training courses for corporate clients. I must say that Magic of Mexico Specialist course is THE best destination course I have ever seen or taken. It is very well designed and actually requires you to have studied and done all the homework to pass it. Which is quite unlike most destination courses that are so simple and really don't require any effort from the student. It has definitely helped me to improve my Mexico sales and increased my knowledge of that beautiful country.”

“What an informative site, thank you. I can see myself adding your posts to my morning routine: coffee, NYT, Gregory’s post.”
Lisa Sluss

“Definitely go for this walkabout. Greg is interesting, kind, enthusiastic and knowledgeable. Really enjoyed hanging out with him for a morning. The tour is a great value and you'll appreciate Ajijic more once you've learn some of its hidden secrets.”
Patrick

“We had a wonderful time rambling about Ajijic with you last Saturday. Your tour was informative, interesting, and fun. You have a wealth of information. Thank you for sharing it. I loved Ajijic before the tour. I love it even more now. I highly recommend your walking tour to anyone who wants an enjoyable Ajijic experience.”
