My wife and I are considering retiring to South America in a few years and from what I have read Uruguay seems like a good country to live. I am a rockhound and Lapidary enthusiast so when we make our first scouting trip I would like to visit the amethyst and gem producing region of Artigas. Can anyone on this site let us know what it is like to visit or possible live in the Artigas area? Also are there any other good mineral or gem producing areas of Uruguay? Thank you!
Best Regards,
