"One of the most challenging aspects of retiring in Punta del Diablo is the cost of living which is higher than other parts of the country. There is limited healthcare facility and services, which can make it difficult for elderly residents to find the necessary medical care. Additionally, the remote location means there can be limited access to other amenities and services, such as public transportation, supermarkets, or entertainment. The weather can also be unpredictable, and there can be occasional natural disasters affecting the area. Finally, the language barrier can be an issue since many of the locals speak only Spanish," explained one expat living in Punta del Diablo, Uruguay.
