I am an athletic, very healthy, non smoking retired science teacher moving to QRO in August. I want to go to language school for the first year and am also interested in volunteering in a teaching environment. Do you have any suggestion to go about getting certified/verified in order to volunteer if there are any opportunities to volunteer as a teacher? Thank you to anyone in this community that offers advice. Cheers,
I am Mexican from Mexico city, but a moved to Queretaro in Zakia and I am extremly happy to be here, very peacefull city and pet frendly. A lot of people from USA moving to Zakia Queretaro, they all are very welcome
This is one of THE BEST videos I have seen on our gorgeous home - Querétaro, Mexico. Thank you for being honest! The cost of living here has increased dramatically over the past 5 years. The dollar devaluation against the peso in the past 4 years has really hurt. Add in general cost of living and increases (inflation - especially food) in food costs has been significant. Great job on this video - you were a little too kind on the cost of living here though - particularly for retirees from the USA and Canada on a fixed retirement income. Mexico is NOT the bargain economically as it was five years ago…Nice job!!!
@@MexicoRelocationGuide Our pleasure. There are WAY TOO MANY “Relocation to Mexico” videos and channels that move away from the truth and mislead people. Your adherence to the current facts sets your channel apart and garners you integrity - well above other “promotion and pump” channels and videos. I am writing an article on “how things have changed in Querétaro over the past 5 years” and would like to interview you. CNN is also writing a piece on this subject as well…from a broader perspective- U.S. retirees heading to Mexico. They interviewed me. Article will be out in a few weeks. (Both articles). Let me know…Again - Nice job!!!
I have heard about the cost of living going up in Queretaro and San Miguel de Allende due to the influx of retirees and expats. So, going with your comment, what would you say a retiree would need to live comfortably in Queretaro, more or less? a Monthly dollar amount. I have traveled to most of the Major cities in Mexico, but I would prefer the small towns to live in. I retired last year and live on my Pension, I will take Social Security at age 66. I am 58 now and live in San Antonio, TX and speak decent Spanish, I'm just not happy with the direction our country is going, Inflation is bad, crime has increased in my city, it's just not enjoyable anymore. A friend of mine who is Mexican, said a good alternative is San Luis Potosi, which is not as popular as Queretaro or San Miguel.
Really great video. I was there last summer. The city is growing very fast as manufacturing is booming and bringing jobs with it. The centro was lively and walkable from Los Alamos. It was too congested and too polluted for us due to the volume of cars. The traffic is terrible. But if you like big cities, then I imagine it’s one of the best options in Mexico due to the safety and economic expansion.
Great video. We are considering moving there at some point. We enjoyed our time there last year. The one thing I completely disagree with in this video is about AC. When it reaches 95F in May and early June, I dont know about you, but I need AC no matter what the humidity level is.
This was highly informative. I have only one questions: when you say 95 degrees as the average high during the summer months, is that most of the day, or only a few hours of the day?
Querétaro is a fantastic place to live, especially in the very walkable Centro with so many cultural events to attend. Yes, like every place in the world, prices have gone up - but for under a $1,000 I can rent a well located, huge 3 bed, 2 bath apartment that in Canada, in a comparable city, would be at least $4,000/month…
@@unclefester6501 traffic can get quite intense. I go each year for work and rush hour can be pretty slow vs other towns, but QRO is really great in el centro. I actually wish they would reduce most car traffic down to the major thoroughfares because the streets are beautiful, but meant for donkeys, not cars.
As anywhere in the world, Queretaro has crime. However, it is also one of the safest cities in Mexico. Many people move to Queretaro from other parts of Mexico because it is considered to have very low crime.
Can you buy a house in alamos for 2 million pesos max? Are the colonias where the regular working- middle class Mexicans in the more traditional type of homes live safe as well? And can you buy a house there for max million?
You'll find that you can find houses in that price range. If you want to work with a local realtor who can help you find a house in your budget and within your lifestyle, we have some excellent recommendations in our complete Mexico Relocation Guide mexicorelocationguide.com/guide/
I have mostly lived in cities with temperate climates and a lot of trees. While cities in the mountainous center have good climates (5000 ft and above), most of Mexico looks "tree-less" to me. What cities have trees and cooler weather?
@@MexicoRelocationGuide If they're going to have the same income as they had in the Western city they're from, then yeah it's going to be more affordable. But if they're hoping to move to Queretaro with a $2k monthly budget and lead a very comfortable middle-class lifestyle, I'd say that's probably not going to be quite enough anymore. That said, Queretaro might be the most beautiful city that I've had the privilege to spend some time in. It's an absolutely stunning place - an incredible historic centre, a perfect climate with sunshine almost every day, relatively low crime rates, and only about three hours away from CDMX by car. All this has obviously driven up its popularity with middle-class Mexicans and foreigners, which has in turn driven up prices.
In Mexico’s current economy, it has gotten very expensive. I lived In Queretaro for 1 year in 2022 and prices have doubled since then. As a retired single female on a very small retired income. It is not affordable.
I can see all the benefits you guys get for coming here but most are not working people nor investing in things that benefits us. If you say we go to the states we do but are most hard working people getting paíd less then min wage so it benefits you. All I can say if you americanize it mexican will turn on you. To keep it peacefull visiting is fine but moving to anyplace in mexico needs to be with a benefit to us.
If you have ever watched a movie set in NYC you've seen hot dog vendors, taco trucks, falafel vendors, and other food trucks. They are all street food vendors. 😊
I just got back from Queretaro is a nice city and it rains a lot ;yeah lots of floodings when it rains,but other than that offer a lot of nice places to visit and nice towns too.They told us about how that aquaduct was built by some nuns hope you know the story how it was built you gonna be shocked by the story.

Me encanta con la ciudad de Queretaro. Esta hermosa. Gracias por compartir esta informacion.
You showed some places i went to,is nice to reminice the city you just visited.
Another excellent video. Gracias Marianna!!
You're so welcome!

Nice video ... I'm still waiting for the Pachuca video 🙂
Great video, I was completely unaware of Queretaro, looks really beautiful
Holaaa Mariana ! Me encantan tus videos ! Sigue haciendo ese gran trabajo! Gracias
Amazing video. Thank you.
Glad you liked it!

Thank you, Mariana, for a wonderful overview of Queretaro!
Thanks Cindy
Great video !!!🎉🎉
Gracias !! 😊😊
Amazing video
A few years ago Queretaro was ranked the safest city in Mexico. I go there to see my dentist who is one of the best.
Hello, friends from Mexico, I really love Tacos! 😍
Hi, friends from America. I really love hamburgers. 😍

Nice
Traffic is impossible some days.

Is Queretaro safe? I would like to go, but I worry about the safety factor.
As anywhere in the world, Queretaro has crime. However, it is also one of the safest cities in Mexico. Many people move to Queretaro from other parts of Mexico because it is considered to have very low crime.
Would you be afraid to go to albuquerque? Denver? Reno? None of these is as safe.
@@colettelongo2080 you've never been to Reno.....it's pretty safe.
Mexico City next please. 😂
Hola! We've done a video on CDMX - find it here ua-cam.com/video/nRASbZZKFQ4/v-deo.html

@@MexicoRelocationGuideYou can't find a house in Alamos for 2 million pesos, that's a wealthy neighborhood
Traffic is really really really bad😢!!!
I have mostly lived in cities with temperate climates and a lot of trees. While cities in the mountainous center have good climates (5000 ft and above), most of Mexico looks "tree-less" to me. What cities have trees and cooler weather?
Not anymore. The city has become too expensive
For many people it is still WAYY MORE affordable than many of the cities they are coming from 😉 (expensive is subjective)
For example I live in San Francisco BayArea and by comparison Q is more reasonable
@@MexicoRelocationGuide If they're going to have the same income as they had in the Western city they're from, then yeah it's going to be more affordable.

Compared to anywhere in the US it very affordable and far safer.

The food isn't really all that great there and it's pretty boring. I think it's totally over hyped.
Toda la comida es lo mismo ...no hay varieda..
Chemtrails are terrible in that place, like in Canada!
I never hear of street food vendors?
If you have ever watched a movie set in NYC you've seen hot dog vendors, taco trucks, falafel vendors, and other food trucks. They are all street food vendors. 😊
Chemtrails are visible in the sky above the city. Unfortunately, chemtrails also impact Mexico.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
You should do some research @@kjwhitty8820
Must hurt to be that stupid.
Nakba, you really don't know the history?????

Not nuns. Monks.
Where’s the super cheapest places around town
