Costa Rica
In 2019, Costa Rica has an estimated population of 5.05 million people, which is up from the last census, which showed the population at 4.58 million. “Costa Rica” is a Spanish word which translates to ‘the rich coast.’ This Central American country borders the Pacific Ocean to the west, the Caribbean Sea to the east, Panama to the southeast and Nicaragua to the north. In short, there’s really no bad view from the coast of Costa Rica! Since Costa Rica is so close to the equator, it’s pretty much hot year-round with no real “seasons”; although, it has what’s called the rainy season from May until November every year. Sort of like their version of winter, though still quite hot outside.

Mexico
Talk about an up-and-coming place to retire, Mexico’s population has grown by over 12 million people in the past seven years! Mexico is the largest Spanish-speaking nation in the world, which is also pretty awesome. Mexico definitely has some distinct seasons; winter in Mexico can reach temperatures of about 68 degrees Fahrenheit (20 degrees Celsius) and in the summer average temperatures in Mexico are about 83 degrees Fahrenheit (28 degrees Celsius). While it’s no snowy winter, at least you experience some cooler temperatures once in a while! The main language spoken in Mexico is Spanish and their currency is the Peso.
