LIVING IN URUGUAY
Life in Uruguay may pass in a safe, peaceful and pleasant manner. The country offers better security than most locations in Latin America and Central America . There are no racial, religious or other conflicts and public meetings are generally peaceful.
Vehicle circulation is relatively fluid even in urban centres. Commuting time to working sites is short. Cities have spacious green areas and because of the continuity of the winds and the lack of pollutant industries, there is hardly any environmental pollution.
Uruguay ranks 6th in the world in the Environmental Sustainability Index, elaborated by the World Economic Forum together with the Universities of Yale and Columbia.
A mild climate, the lack of environmental pollution, the extent of the sanitation, potable water and medical care networks afford a healthy environment for the population.
Being a small country, distances to leisure locations such as parks, forests, countryside and sea, river or lakeshores beaches, are quite short. The national sport is soccer, which captures the interest of the majority of the population at all social levels. There are numerous private clubs with excellent sport fields, particularly remarkable golf courses. Montevideo and other main cities offer important cultural activities comprising a range of theater, movies and musical shows.
The Uruguayan market offers consumer goods from many origins and high quality, at international prices. |
