We have heard of people interested in moving to Uruguay because of its water resources. The most notable of these water resources is, of course, the Guarani Aquifer.

When doing research about corruption indexes for Uruguay I stumble across with the Index of Economic Freedom in Uruguay that I believe vital to read.

We are going to tackle the question of public services.

Phone, cell phones and Internet:

It is very easy to get a celL phone in Uruguay. You can use prepaid services or sign a contract with one of the telecommunication companies. Service is obtained right away the purchase. To get a land-in phone takes a little longer but still affordable and possible installation in about 5 days.

Internet connection. There are two possibilities to get broadband. Wireless or ADSL.

If you are moving to Uruguay it is advisable that you do not purchase international health insurance valid for a long period of time before you move out here because you will spend a lot money and effort by doing so. we recommend that you buy local insurance once in Uruguay as it is significantly less expensive and of good quality.

Is a car essential to live in Uruguay? Is it going to be a problem to depend on buses? Is it possible to afford a taxi? What's most convenient?

If you are considering taking some time off in another country remember this:

 1. Uruguay is a Latin Aamerican country but not of a hot temperature place like Mexico or Costa Rica. Many similarities with some Argentine regions, featuring cheap prices -housing, restaurants, food in general, leisure, Higher Education (private)- with the exception that no kidnapings or serious security problems take place at all across Uruguay.      

What's the best place to hang out with our pets? The park, the promenade, the seashore?

All of these options are available here (among others we may be forgetting to mention) for you to make.

The city dwellers do actually love animals and create a feeling of love and respect towards them.

Yesterday I met with an Irish expat who made an amazing comparison and prediction for Uruguay as a potential New Ireland of the southern hemisphere

Uruguay is a safe and quiet place to live in as a result of a melting-pot culture not by force but by the desire to recognise the importance of diversity. We see that many countries have become some sort of Fortress. Uruguay stays far away from this view to exclude the diversity. Uruguay has the need to experiece new things to evolve into a brighter future.
