SanLuisPotosí, Mexico

High score (8-10) · Your profile

San Luis Potosí city has a compact, walkable historic center and a genuine social scene built around its university population and mining-wealth heritage. The city is pleasant, cost of living is low, and locals are curious about the rare foreigner who shows up without the tourist infrastructure prompting it. The Huasteca Potosina — waterfalls at Tamul, Las Pozas surrealist garden — attracts adventurous travelers who find a surprisingly warm reception from locals used to showing off their natural landscape.

Mid score (6-8)

San Luis Potosí state is the size of Indiana and most of it is arid ranchland with tight-knit, conservative communities that don't have outsider-social infrastructure. The capital city is accessible but limited in expat presence and nightlife relative to larger Mexican cities. The northern Altiplano region has had security concerns.

Lower score (below 6)

The rural Altiplano region of San Luis Potosí has cartel-related security issues and the social environment in small towns is insular in ways that take years to penetrate. Without Spanish and existing local connections, the state outside the capital has very limited social access for outsiders.
