Retirement Homes in Mexico – Baby Boomers are Starting to Get it

April 28th, 2009

The Generation of Baby Boomers who have experienced the most exciting and economically prosperous of all times are starting to look for retirement Properties in Mexico. They want to take their current home equities and leverage them into seaside resort living with all the relaxation and recreational amenities that they have always dreamed about. Most need to look towards Mexico for affordable beach homes, easy living, and excellent medical facilities.

Of all the generations that span the history of mankind, it is the Baby Boomers who have experienced the most exciting and economically prosperous times of all. Babies born immediately after the World War ended witnessed the economy of the country shifting gears-from war mode and war mood to business mode and business mood. As the rest of world became busy in repairing its war-worn cities and fractured economies, businesses in United States enjoyed unprecedented boom time, with overfilled order books that ensured prosperity and wealth to its citizenry for decades to come.

Various studies and researches have thrown up interesting facts. Baby Boomers usually expect to be retired by the time they reach 65. This means that in another five years from now, the first waves of this generation will start moving towards the Mexico Vacation Homes that they have so craved all their life. Almost 60% of the survey respondents want their vacation homes to be away from an urban setting, and almost 50% said that they preferred living in an age-restricted community. Many are planning on selling their current homes that have greatly appreciated in value. For some this equity is a large part of their retirement planning. The trick is to find a dream home that will allow them to utilize this equity as part of their living expenses.

After spending a lifetime chasing money in crowded, polluted, and stuffy offices and factory floors in busy cities, Baby Boomer generation longs for life that is totally different. A deeper analysis of the numbers thrown up by all the surveys quoted above reveals that people in the age group from forty to sixty have made up their mind – well, at least a majority of them-to shift away from their present home which has so well served its purpose and utility. But it is time now, folks, to move on. To enjoy the goodies that this world has to offer. To be in the lap of Mother Nature, and yet enjoy the material comforts that money in the bank can buy.

This perception has driven the Baby Boomers towards climes that are relaxing and soothing to the body and the mind. Mexico has long been an attractive destination, with its exotic locales, sunny weather, intriguing history, and familiar culture plus of course its proximity to the home country, which is a bonus. The NAFTA agreement between Canada , the USA and Mexico (initiated by yet another Baby Boomer, Bill Clinton), signed in 1994, opened up the possibility of Mexico becoming a favorite place to retire. Today, more than a million Americans have chosen Mexico as their home; indeed it is the largest group of Americans residing anywhere on the planet outside the U.S. And a majority of this residents and investors are Baby Boomers.

So be a part of this great opportunity and plan to spend your rest of life in a heavenly abode in Mexico.

Lava Flows Visible From New Pinacate, Mexico

April 24th, 2009

Bet you don’t know what’s happening out in the middle of the Sonoran Desert right now, do ya? Yes, we all know that the snakes and reptiles are out, sunbathing and waiting for the next unsuspecting tourist or hiker to pass by before giving them the scare of their life. This “thing” is so big that it covers over 8,000 square feet and looks out over recent lava flows and those beautiful, tempting sand dunes.

In between Puerto Penasco and Sonoyta, Mexico, just outside a little town called Nayarit sits the most wonderful place in the Sonoran Desert . The Pinacate Biosphere Reserve is so richly diverse that it houses a variety of different plant life and wildlife, including the endangered Sonoran Pronghorn.

If you’re lucky, as you drive toward Rocky Point on Hwy. 8, you might catch sight of a big horn sheep off in the distance walking along the side of a mountain. Most of you pass right by the green sign that tells you that a world of discovery and adventure is just a little way up the dusty trail. More of you have probably taken notice within the last year or so when all of the signs and fences started going up to protect the area from vehicles. It took them a long time to be recognized as a Biosphere Reserve and it seems now is something finally come of it.

Along with housing great hiking and camping spots, the Pinacates is also home to volcanic craters such as the Cerro Colorado and the Elegante. They are massive when you get to stand on the edge of them and look down. The area is more commonly known for its peaks and craters, but there are a ton of people (biologists, botanists, etc.) who are thrilled at studying the diverse life (animal and plant) that can survive in such harsh conditions. (when you’re sweating in Phoenix or Penasco, they are boiling at the Reserve, there has even been snow spotted on top of the peaks – believe it or not!)

Their new cultural and visitor’s center will contain a wealth of information and services such as those found at Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument, Cabeza Prieta national wildlife refuge and many other protected areas around the world. The lobby will contain all kinds of information about the area – the plants you will come across, the reptiles you might meet and the flying insects that might try to bite you during the night. The building will contain lots of photos, drawings, models and museum quality pieces – artifacts are often found in the area (please don’t remove them).

The center will be a wealth of cultural and historical information – from the library to the auditorium. There will be an onsite cafeteria, restrooms, a desert botanical garden and telescopes to view the beautiful scenery from.

Their cultural and visitor’s center will be a great addition for those who like to learn more about the area, nature or just want a diversion or fun activity.

Rocky Point will have its Home Port

April 1st, 2009

The Holland America shipping company revealed that in three years, with the construction of a Cruise Ship Home Port, Puerto Penasco will be taking another step to become a world-class tourist destination.

Holland America is planning to have one cruise ship a week on the Sea of Cortez route as of 2011, stated Simon Douwes, Planning and Scheduling Director, who recently confirmed that at the latest in three years, Puerto Penasco will become the site for the arrival and departure of cruise ships.

Plans are to make between 50 and 60 trips in the “World’s Aquarium”, departing from Puerto Penasco to Guaymas, Loreto, La Paz and Topolobampo, and then, returning to the port of departure.

He stated that the Sea of Cortez route is excellent for the company, because in only seven days they can go to six Mexican ports, which will provide a myriad of attractions.

On the other hand, the coordinator of the Commission for the Development of Tourist of the State Government, Epifanio Salido Pavlovich, explained that initially there will be a 14 day route that will depart from San Diego, California, and will travel to Puerto Penasco; then Guaymas, and the tour will conclude in the port of embarkation.

Representatives of Holland America and Carnival Corporation recently visited the area of Sandy Beach, where they intend to locate the cruise ship terminal in Puerto Penasco.

An assessment on the technical feasibility of building the wharf in this area of Rocky Point, Mexico was conducted with good results. Possible attractions in that area that could be provided to cruise ship customers were analyzed within the plans to set-up the Home Port. Some of these attractions are the Visitor Center of the “El Pinacate” Biosphere Reserve which is another option that can be provided to nautical tourists.

Government sources said that the Home Port project in Puerto Penasco is looking for the appropriate conditions to remain as the Sea of Cortez cruise ship route, while at the same time duly caring for the environment and furthering a sustainable activity through ecological balance.

On October 16, the first tourist cruise ship owned by Holland America arrived in Guaymas, Sonora, while the second one arrived on November 15. in both cases, 1,200 tourists enjoyed the region’s attractions.

A “home port” is a port of arrival, or rather, the site where cruises begin and end. It is something Mexico had never had up to now. This benefit will also include Puerto Penasco once the construction of the Home Port is completed a few kilometers from the US border.

The Government of Sonora, the Florida and Caribbean Cruise Association (FCCA), and the Coordination General of Ports and Merchant Marine, a body belonging to the Department of Communications and Transportation (SCT) entered into negotiations to make this project come true.
