The expat population in Corozal includes full-time expats and Canadians coming in half the year. There are a lot of expats who have been here in Corozal for 6 months. There are those expats who leave for 6 months, but are now on their third or fourth year in a row of being here in Corozal, and everybody already knows who they are.

 

A lot of expats who have second homes here are from somewhere cold, so they come here this time of the year. We’re seeing a lot of expats coming right now. January is the best month to come here, especially if you live somewhere cold.
