Latin America’s
best kept secret.
A beacon for freedom, equality, democracy and quality of life, Uruguay has so much to offer families looking to relocate. In an increasingly unstable world, it was also the highest ranked South American country in the World Happiness Report 2023. If your family is considering relocating to Uruguay, The Garzón School is here to support you throughout your move and transition.
Our ‘soft landing’ programme sets relocating students up for success.
QUALITY OF LIFE
Uruguay consistently ranks highly on international quality of life indices, such as the Human Development Index. The country has public healthcare, a well-developed education system, and a strong culture of civic engagement. With a strong social welfare system, political stability, low crime rates and a relatively high level of economic development, Uruguay is perfect for families.
COMMUNITY
Uruguay’s welcoming culture and friendly people are often cited as reasons for choosing to live in the country. Uruguayans are known for their hospitality, warmth, and inclusiveness, making it an attractive destination for families seeking a welcoming and supportive community. There is a strong sense of social contract in this country of just 3.4 million, built upon rights and freedoms.
OUTDOORS
Uruguay’s natural beauty is a major draw for families seeking to relocate internationally. The country has a diverse landscape, from beaches to sierras, and is home to a variety of wildlife and natural wonders. Many appreciate the change of pace and an outdoor-centric life, with the opportunity to explore the country’s scenic beauty and enjoy a wide range of nature-based activities.
ENVIRONMENT
With a small population and a strong tradition of social and environmental responsibility, Uruguay leads the region in reducing pollution and protecting natural resources. Alongside policies to preserve its unique biodiversity and natural heritage, the country has ambitious targets for reducing greenhouse gas emissions and increasing the use of renewable energy sources.
“Some of us were born here, many of us were drawn here — either way we’re all privileged to call Uruguay home. Our students, staff and families share a deep-rooted love and respect for this proudly enterprising and progressive country.”
