I sailed into Luperon some years ago and found it a great place to retire to but that's just my opinion. The prices are reasonable and labor is cheap. If I went back to Canada my pension would not be enough to live on I would have to go back to work. I have friends that work on the internet and live here very comfortably. If I can help with any questions about living here just ask. When you come next summer come visit I'm 15 minutes from Luperon
