Uruguay's premier Atlantic resort — the South American Riviera, peak season December–February when São Paulo's wealthy decamp here for summer and prices triple. Off-season (April–November) the population drops from 600k to 50k and rents follow. Casapueblo and the Punta Ballena cliffs are the iconic spots; José Ignacio (45 minutes east) is the discreet ultra-luxury alternative. Uruguay's residence-by-investment program ($380k real estate or $1.7M business) is the structural draw — full PR access in ~3 years, then a path to a tax-haven-aligned citizenship that's quietly popular among LatAm wealthy. Standard 90-day visa-free entry for most Western passports.
