Naturally beautiful Uruguay has been receiving more and more attention from a generation looking to retire somewhere other than Mexico or Panama. Granted, it isn’t as close, and it doesn’t offer a special retirement visa like the aforementioned countries do, but that doesn’t mean it doesn’t deserve a look when deciding where to spend your golden years.

Why? A good long list of reasons actually. For one, the prices are excellent. Montevideo has actually been named by Mercer HR Consulting as the second least expensive city in the world. Uruguay is also fairly modern for South America, has excellent highways and you can even drink the water! The high season sees a lot of activity, and the low season reminds you why you retired there in the first place.

The only drawback to retirement in Uruguay would probably be that the retiree community there is still in its developing stages, and even that isn’t entirely bad. Not only do you get to be a trendsetter, you also get the best deals before the hoards of other retired Gringos descend upon your pristine beaches.
