Healthcare in Uruguay is of a high standard, with both public and private options available. Expats can buy into the national healthcare system or opt for private health insurance.

However, like anywhere, it's important to take standard precautions to protect your personal safety and belongings.

However, it's recommended to consult with a local attorney to understand the legal and financial implications of moving. La Barra itself is a small, upscale beach town known for its beautiful beaches, vibrant nightlife, and arts scene.
