Some people really get the wrong idea about Uruguay, maybe it's the name, or maybe
it's a Latin American stigma but most likely it's just that it's so far away
and most people know so little about it. Having been there I can tell you

actually so safe and civilized to be almost boring. Yes, even San Jose, Costa

Recently I've been sounding too much like a cheer leader for Capital Conservator who are based out of Montevideo but that's because I agree with the reason which prompted the staff to move offices from Costa Rica to Uruguay, at great time and expense I might add. Nothing wrong with Costa Rica either by the way, it's a great place for operating a global company from, however the growth of Sports Betting in that jurisdiction and the fact that the USA is too close and just too influential over their government, meant that a better place to do business might be further afield. So I made a trip to investigate and was most impressed with what I saw and learned.

Indeed, Uruguay is pretty boring. Seems like the locals like it that way though. It keeps them out of the spotlight and known only to the savvy Argentines and Brasileros that make it a hot spot for summer parties and secretive money.
