Corporations aren’t the only ones turning to outsourcing. Retirees are also looking offshore for post-work paradises. And the declining dollar has them looking beyond the old enclaves like the Costa del Sol or the Côte d’Azur.

Birders, hikers and mountain bikers will want to consider Boquete in the mountain region. Here quetzals are as common as canaries, and the temperate climate lets you indulge in natural beauty year-round. Thai me up Nonstop safari The aroma of clove and coconut from the island’s two main crops will further intoxicate you.
