The more information on Uruguay becomes available, the more retirees and other expats are discovering that they can enjoy a higher quality of life with a sharply reduced price tag.
That's great news, because from its old-world theaters and opera houses to its jazz festivals and exquisite restaurants, Uruguay looks and feels like Europe... but with Third World prices.
Just because the Uruguay cost of living is low doesn't mean sacrifice in lifestyle. Uruguay's infrastructure is first rate. You can drink the water from any tap in the country. Telephone lines are available in less than 48 hours, and your high-speed Internet connection is just a phone call away in most cities.
The truth is that Uruguay is one of the most diverse, affordable, and sophisticated countries in the region.
Uruguay isn't high on the radar with potential North American expats, and you won't find many of them living here. The majority that are here are working with the diplomatic corps or are stationed in Uruguay by their North American companies.
But this is set to change as information on Uruguay, its low cost of living, and the country's charm and sophistication spread.
Uruguay truly has a lifestyle and a region for everyone. Whether you want to live downtown in a world capital, in the heart of an old colonial city, in one of the world's famous beach resorts, or on a sprawling ranch in the heartland, Uruguay has something to fit the bill.
