With an affordable cost of living and a healthy country environment, this area was voted as the most popular place to retire in 2018.

Close to San Isidro and Chirripo National Park

The city of San Isidro is a great source for all of the major amenities you may need. In addition to restaurants, shopping, and medical services, there are farmers markets each week. Although you probably won’t need any fruits because you’ll already have your own, these markets are a great source of freshly baked bread and organic black earth for your garden.

The Chirripo National Park is one of the many conservation efforts Costa Rica has put forth. It’s home to almost 1,000 species of animals and boasts the largest population of tapirs. The ecotourism in this area is very strong offering whitewater rafting, zip lining, bird watching, ATV tours, and waterfall hiking.

This property is perfect for a retired couple or a buyer looking for an affordable home to live a healthy lifestyle in Costa Rica.
