"Expats in Cabo Polonio often find the isolation and remoteness of the location to be challenging, as it is a small village located on a remote peninsula. The lack of modern amenities such as electricity and running water in many homes can also be a significant adjustment for many. Additionally, the local culture is very laid-back and operates on 'Uruguayan time', which can be frustrating for those used to a more fast-paced, punctual lifestyle. The language barrier can also be a challenge, as the primary language spoken is Spanish and not everyone may speak English. Lastly, access to healthcare can be difficult due to the remote location, which can be a concern for some expats," remarked another expat who made the move to Cabo Polonio, Uruguay.
