Avoid Montevideo if you want a relaxed life. it is dangerous. Uruguay, as it is the whitest country in the entire continent, also has a high percentage of vaccinated. it is expected to be a depopulated country in a few years because of that. look for places like Atlantida, Piriápolis, Colonia, if you like the coast. If you like the countryside, look inwards, Minas, tacuarembó, .. in all the places they are almost all whites. do not go into poor neighborhoods of Montevideo .. do not go thinking that you are going to be rich, it is third world. they are almost all descendants of Spanish and Italians. very few English or Irish. If you are Russian, there is a Russian community in the countryside with Russian traditions, if you are Swiss, look for Nueva Helvetia. Sincerely, if I were you, I would stay in the country to fight it, in a place away from everything. Montevideo although dangerous, is still safer than many parts of South America, Central America. The weather is very rainy and nostalgic, there are also splendid days, but don't expect it to be palm trees and heat like other countries in the continent. The garbage culture of reggaeton has already invaded the country, although you will still find people with that taste of tranquility in the charisma of the population, they are like Argentines but more relaxed
