    Healthcare in Mexico is incredible. I paid $25 for a home visit by an English speaking MD who spent 45 minutes with me, checked on me daily, and did another surprise home visit to check my vitals without an appointment. I spent $50 on an orthopedist at a shiny brand new hospital and $27 for an Xray that was done immediately at the hospital. I paid $25 for an ER visit at the same new hospital, had my vital signs taken like in the US, the English-speaking doctor was very thorough, and I was in and out of the ER in 45 minutes. I met a guy from Texas who lives in Puerto Vallarta now and said his cardiologist in PV has better testing and equipment than his top guy in Texas had, spends an hour with him at each visit, and charges $50.

    Loved Huatulco last year in December… so clean compared to Puerto Escondido (which dumps raw sewage directly into the entire branch).
    It’s so clean there’s actually teeny tiny microscopic jelly fish in the bays. Watch out; you’ll be stung a 1000x if you decide to swim at all. And don’t bother asking the locals. They hardly swim. They enjoy to just sit on the beach restaurants socializing…

    Moved to Huatulco 4.5 years ago. It fit most of my checkpoints: small town, demographics include some expats, foreigners but mostly local Mexicans (why leave US if I only want US?), safe, some tourism but not dominated by it, surrounded by jungle (can have a garden), variety of good restaurants, friendly community. Since Covid, so much has changed. Suddenly, development, construction has taken over. The writing is on the wall. Huatulco is expanding so quickly that the infrastructure is not keeping up. Sadly, am seriously concerned I may be moved out within two years, or less. Most of my senior expat friends have left cause they can no longr afford the cost increase of everything. Am looking to the mountains now.

      There is a little of everything in Huatulco, but it is full of local Mexicans along with their food and traditions. I especially love the Tlayudas which originated in Oaxaca State. I would most who vacation and move here do it for the fact it feels authentic compared to other tourists areas. Salud!

    Hello from Arkansas!!! Thank you for the broad content! Really enjoy the videos.
    I have a variety of a couple of questions -
    Q: What type of pests can I expect to experience in Hualtulco? - I have lived in many states in the US. In Arkansas, I have contend with mosquitos, scorpions, tarantulas, black widow, fleas, ticks, copperhead snakes. In south Florida, I have had to contend with mosquitos, gators, fleas, poisonous spiders & palmetto cockroaches.
    Q: For pets, are there boarding kennels? Do the outdoor restaurants permit dogs on leash?

    I know Oaxaca has a large indigenous population and have extensively traveled throughout Mexico. I've long observed that many Mexicans don't speak Spanish, because many Indian languages are spoken throughout Mexico where there's perhaps 63 indigenous languages. I remember picking up hitchhikers in remote places and not being able to communicate with some of them given they didn't even speak Spanish - I realized that a significant percentage of Mexicans do NOT speak Spanish - I would guess more than 10% of the population?

    That monetary requirement deterrs tourism. I’ve been going to Guatemala City for the winter (from November-March since 2015 and have been making it with less than $ 1,000 per month, and I eat out on every meal, it depends where you go out to eat. I just find a room for rent with shareable kitchen and showers….Spanish is my first language, so that makes easier to wheel and deal your way around. I’ll visit Huatulco next year for a couple of weeks and scope it out, to see if it’s duable for me.
