With a population of just 64,120, San Felipe is a sleepy provincial capital that offers little to entice ambitious expats. The tax burden is heavy, and bureaucratic headaches are a persistent nuisance. While the city lies 88 km north of Santiago, the commute is a slog, and the provincial lifestyle may prove stifling for those accustomed to urban energy. Unless you're seeking a quiet retirement in a rural Chilean backwater, San Felipe is unlikely to satisfy the needs of most foreigners looking to start a new life abroad.
