"The things that I really missed and thought about bringing later were good pots and pans and kitchen tools, large stainless steel garbage cans (which cost a fortune in Uruguay, yards of material for draperies, bedspreads and decorative pillows, Christmas decorations, and if building a house: door knobs and knobs or pulls for drawers and cabinets, bathroom fixtures (towel racks, mirrors, fixtures), picture hanging supplies, a safe that can be installed in concrete, and an office machine for faxing/copying/printing. The things that you do not need to bring include any leather goods which are in abundance, winter clothes, and anything related to the care and feeding of a dog or cat," explained one expat living in Punta del Este, Uruguay.

"When moving to Punta del Este, it is important to pack clothing suitable for the warm climate, such as shorts, t-shirts, and sandals. Sunscreen and a hat are also essential for protection from the sun. Additionally, it is a good idea to bring a few items of warmer clothing for the cooler evenings. It is also important to bring any necessary documents, such as a passport and visa. Finally, it is a good idea to bring any items that will make the transition to a new home easier, such as favorite books, photos, and other personal items," said another expat in Punta del Este, Uruguay.
