My husband and I are planning to visit for the first time. We are thinking February of 2022 but flexible. Ultimately we want to retire aboard so this is our first exploratory visit. We are in our 40’s and gay. I’d love to hear from you all as to what we should experience to get a taste of Uruguayan expat life. We plan on Montevideo and Punta del Este and that’s as far as I gotten :-)

Would recommend you come during local winter. If that suits you then the rest of the year will be fine. Punta in the off season is quiet, less options on things to do but you have the beach all to yourself, they even turn off most of the traffic lights. (Nice!). Rent a house or AirBnB and get the feel for living here.

February is Glorious but July is a different story..

I strongly second the recommendation of a winter visit. We spent the month of January '16 to experience Summer and Carnaval, and the month of June '16. The Winters are colder than we expected due to the dampness. There are days on end of blowing, light rain and gloom that can be chilling both physically and mentally, but that's what fireplaces and a hot cup are for!

So are you saying to come down in July?

The summer here is lovely but do you propose to the girl who only lets you see her in full makeup, hair done and in great clothes with her spanx on?

You might after getting to know her but easy to get sucked in here during the summer when there is so much going on.. something else in winter when restaurants, bars, galleries , shops close. If you like winter here (as we do) you will love the rest of the year.
