Try the website,''poorbuthappy.com there are many places discused on there and an open chat place to ask questions and read what others have to say about experiences they've had..
I know of a town about five miles out of Medellin Colombia where a person can rent a farm for two-three hundred a month and is in a beautiful area..

1st, visit the countries !!! 2nd, obviously u r not into urban areas,looking for a countried atmosphere is more suited to you. many central american countries r very poor & utilities,access to them is poor & expensive. Costa Rico is the most modern & has the best access to needs,still it is not cheap for Americans,costs have sky rocketed there,Panama costs r less,in South America,smaller cities & towns,outlying areas have better situations & more mderate prices, living standards in Argentina & Chili r more on a par with the U.S. & cosat 2/3rds less than the states,depending on the areas. Best bet,check out Argentina & Chile.Piece of advice: keepyour funds in American banks & transfer amts needed ,flucuations & financial instability is common in south american & central amer banks. My personal choice is 1.Argentina,2.Chile 3. Panama 4. Uruguay. Take the time to explore the areas & network with realtors there,who can advise u on property,taxes,foreign ownership . Good Luck,

i guess u should start asking urself which country do u like best!
