| “Uruguay is located between Brazil and Argentina, and is the second smallest country in South America after Suriname-which used to be Dutch Guiana, for those of us over 50. It boasts 120 miles of Atlantic coastline, and 270 miles on the Uruguay River. The country is something of a paradox. South America’s second-smallest country-about the size of Missouri-it looks and feels like Europe, but the prices are Third-World. If extensive infrastructure, ease of access, and an established expatriate community are retirement necessities for you…you can have all that in Uruguay.If its beaches you seek, then Uruguay has that too. Punta del Este, a world-class beach resort, has been the playground of rich Europeans for years.The 210-mile stretch of coastline between the Brazilian border and the Uruguayan capital of Montevideo is among the finest in South America, with endless white-sand beaches, lonely stretches of highway where the woods go right to the water, wildlife preserves, and dazzling resorts.Due to its economic, social, and political stability, as well as its democratic tradition, high level of safety, and outstanding natural beauty, Uruguay is an excellent retirement haven. Many foreigners have already begun to take advantage of the ease of investment, superior quality of life, perfect weather, and numerous investment opportunities in real estate, farming, and the tourism industry. Infrastructure has been modernized and improved (ports, airports, telecommunications, road networks, etc.) making Uruguay, with its strategic location between Argentina and Brazil, the perfect base for exploring the rest of South America.”**Excerpt from International Living
