Which Seminar is Right For Me?
Lake Chapala Retirement Seminar offers different Seminars to choose from.
Which one should I choose?
​
Both the Week Long & 4 Day Accelerated Program are fully customized to do, see and learn the things you are most interested in and will have only you and the Private Tour Guide!
The Week Long Personalized Seminar includes accommodations and airport transfers. We do more in-depth touring of the various communities, and by staying in our luxury studio apartment, you will get a better feel of what it is really like to live as a local. You will have more time with your tour guide plus interactive sessions going over the additional course materials. Perfect for the new visitor or one who requires extra attention. Many of my clients say it is a vacation!
​
The 4 Day Accelerated Personalized Seminar is perfect for the independent traveler or one who has visited before, as it does not include accommodations or airport transfers. We still tour the different communities but remain in the areas where 80% of the expats relocate to. Additional course material is provided by email. Perfect for those on a tight timeline or require less hand holding!
​
Both Seminars provide free time in the evenings to explore on your own.
In both programs you will receive the tools, connections and knowledge to make a successful and informed expat transition to Lake Chapala.

After all, you are not just moving to a new state or province, but to a new country and culture!
If simple and low-hassle is what you’re looking for, concierge service may be your best bet.
