"When moving to Punta Ballena, you should pack a variety of clothing suitable for a temperate climate, including both lightweight and warmer items for the varying seasons. Don't forget to pack swimwear and beach accessories, as the area is known for its beautiful beaches. Pack your essential documents such as passport, visa, driver's license, and medical records. It's also a good idea to bring any necessary prescription medications, along with a copy of the prescription. Consider packing a Spanish-English dictionary or phrasebook, as Spanish is the official language of Uruguay. If you're planning on cooking, you might want to pack some of your favorite non-perishable food items, as they may be hard to find in Uruguay. Pack electronics like your laptop, phone, and any other devices you use daily, along with the appropriate chargers and adapters. Uruguay uses Type C, F, and L plugs, so make sure you have the right converters. Bring personal items that make you feel at home, such as photos, favorite books, or small decor items. Lastly, pack any work-related items you may need, especially if you're moving for a job. This could include specific clothing, tools, or equipment," remarked another expat who made the move to Punta Ballena, Uruguay.
