"One of the most challenging aspects of retiring in Panajachel is the language barrier. Although Spanish is the official language, many locals also speak the indigenous language of Kaqchikel. This can make it difficult for retirees to communicate with locals and access services. Additionally, the cost of living in Panajachel is relatively high compared to other parts of Guatemala, making it difficult for retirees to stretch their retirement savings. Finally, the infrastructure in Panajachel is not as developed as in other parts of the world, making it difficult to access certain amenities and services," wrote a member who made the move to Panajachel, Guatemala.
