Living in Villa Serrana

Uruguay · temperate

🌍

Villa Serrana is a tiny hamlet of roughly 500 people near the mountains in Uruguay. The climate is temperate. It sits well off the usual tourist trail and is considered very safe. A typical month of living costs around $1,200. Healthcare is reasonable, and the internet can be patchy for heavy remote work. People come here for quiet days, hiking, gardening and rural life.

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.
