Living in Cabo Polonio
Uruguay · temperate
Cabo Polonio is a tiny hamlet of roughly 100 people right by the sea in Uruguay. The climate is temperate. It has a lively, popular feel and is considered very safe. A typical month of living costs around $1,300. Healthcare is reasonable, and the internet can be patchy for heavy remote work. People come here for surfing, quiet days, fishing.
Il servizio sanitario pubblico (4/5) è più solido del privato: qui l’assicurazione è un extra, non una necessità. È uno dei posti dove vivere fuori rete è davvero praticabile, sia per legge sia per spazio. Chi nasce in Uruguay è cittadino, quale che sia la nazionalità dei genitori. Il reddito prodotto all’estero in genere non viene tassato qui.
