Uruguay · temperate

🌍

Piriápolis is a village of roughly 9,000 people with both the sea and mountains close by in Uruguay. The climate is temperate. It has a lively, popular feel and is considered very safe. A typical month of living costs around $1,350. Healthcare is reasonable, and the internet is generally reliable. People come here for swimming, hiking, quiet days.

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.
