Costa Rica would be dope. Safe. Beautiful. Progressive. Conserve their environment well. Good food and great people, most importantly.

The gem of Central America imo

Loved CR. And Panama. And Mexico (which is actually N America). Argentina. Peru. ( Both S Am I know...)

CR, pretty easy to get residency. Panama, not so much anymore. Mexico, pretty easy.

Every Latin American country we've gone to, the people are so wonderful. Tho, ironically, certain parts of Mexico are developing strong "Gringos-go-home" sentiments. Seems they are starting to view gringos the same way we view Private Equity. Places with strong expat communities are driving up cost of living and making poor locals poorer.

(Glad we're not interested in the places where expats move.)

We'd planned on that, but then found a part of Mexico that had all we wanted from CR, and more. "Climate of eternal spring" in the cloud forest, fairly close to beaches (~ 35-40 minutes). Cost of living is actually lower. Quicker/cheaper flights for family to visit. Every bit as beautiful. Better infrastructure (still a developing nation). MUCH cheaper to buys imported items.

It's actually safer when it comes to violent crime. I know that's hard to believe, but CR is suffering from pretty bad problems with home invasion robberies that the authorities don't care anything about stopping or investigating.

I had heard CR is seeing a rise in petty and non violent crimes. Where in Mexico is this paradise?

The state of Veracruz. It's absolutely gorgeous. Much of it, you'd think you are in CR, Panama, etc... But please don't tell anyone. We need it to remain a hidden gem.

We drove through a banana/coffee plantation and then hiked down to this last time we were there:

Always spend several days enjoying Puerto and their mini beaches.

Tecolutla is beautiful and relaxing.

Chachalacas is absolutely empty during the week, and also has dunes adjacent to the beach for those that like moto-playing.
