Where should I setup a bank account in Cabo Polonio?
We asked expats in Cabo Polonio what banks they use and there advice about banking. They advised...
"Cabo Polonio, is a remote and rustic beach town, so expats should be prepared for a lifestyle that is more off-the-grid than they may be used to. The town is not connected to the national electricity grid, so residents rely on solar power and wind energy. Internet access is limited and not always reliable, which could be a challenge for those who rely on it for communication or entertainment. The town is small, with a population of around 100 people, so it may not offer the same level of social activities or amenities as larger cities. The cost of living in Cabo Polonio is relatively low compared to other parts of Uruguay, but expats should be aware that the town's remoteness can make certain goods and services more expensive. Healthcare facilities are limited in Cabo Polonio, so expats with health concerns may need to travel to larger cities for treatment. The town is located within a national park, which offers stunning natural beauty and opportunities for outdoor activities, but also means there are restrictions on development and property ownership. Spanish is the primary language spoken in Cabo Polonio, so expats would benefit from learning the language to better integrate into the community. The climate in Cabo Polonio is temperate, with warm summers and mild winters, but the town can be quite windy due to its coastal location. Public transportation to and from Cabo Polonio is limited, so expats should consider their transportation needs before deciding to retire there. Finally, expats should be aware that Cabo Polonio's remote and rustic charm may not be for everyone, and it's a good idea to spend some time there before deciding to retire in the town," remarked another expat who made the move to Cabo Polonio, Uruguay.
