    I’m Brazilian. I find some problems in your methodology. While I agree that Chile and Uruguay should rank ahead, Paraguay has a lot of problems and I would rank it lower than countries you didn’t even include. Argentina has also many attractive points, though its unstable politics and economics should rank it lower for expats. While Peru can be travelled quite safely for the most part and Colombia has made a lot of progress from its more troubling days. I guess some things can’t be judged by statistics alone.

    There are so many factors not taken into account. People, food, culture, all of which are in many ways more important than the ones listed.
    A travel agent I know who specializes in Latin America says he can't even give away trips to Paraguay. No one is interested.
    Focusing on capitals can be a big mistake. Brasilia isn't Brazil's largest city or even one that receives many foreign visitors. It's like judging the US by Washington DC or Australia by Canberra. When it comes to climate Bogota is a definite outlier as other Colombians call it "the refrigerator" the coldest city in the country.
    Ecuador (not in this study) has a very large expat population in beautiful, friendly Cuenca its third largest city.
    My advice. Travel first.

      Well said, travel and live in those countries prior to making videos. I lived in Brazil and travelled to many South American countries. Germans are immigrating to Paraguay and buying lands since covid started. Over 2000 people immigrated there, majority are against vaccines, and have children. Germany is getting saturated with Muslims, and these German immigrants are chatolics. I think southern Brazil, in Rio grande do Sul área, and Argentina are very suitable for Germans and most of Europeans due to massive immigration from Europe post WW2. Other Spanish speaking South American countries have an unstable political and economical life where you have to own a gun, be alert with constant robberies and horrendous inflation. ( Brazil and Argentina have the same problem but if you have euro, you won't suffer much). Buenos Aires have a lot of European expats, because of facility with visas and buying properties. Weather is another plus in Argentina. Gets really cold during winter, San Carlos de Bariloche is the skiing resort wealthy Argentinians and Brazilians go, and it was a hidden gem, a hub for the hit ller and his gang living there as a hi de outs. Great steaks, 🥩, great food and the scenary of the country is amazing. Equador is good for Americans but it might not be as accommodating for Europeans due to cultural differences.

      @@Figue- it’s fairly diverse, you got most of the country being nature itself, with large fields, some small hills that make for entertaining walks. Beaches are a big thing, and generally speaking nature is always present. Even in big cities like the capital, the blocks tend to be surrounded with trees every few meters, which makes some very specific streets jump out, as they have some very beautiful trees with pink or purple foliage. Not much different from the sakura trees in japan. On top of this, lakes in different places have pretty different “feels” or vibes, some I would recommend going to see the sunset and just walking into, and others make for good kayaking.
      TL:DR If this overly touristy text scared you, we have pretty places.

    Brazil has some states with the same human development and security as Uruguay or Chile, can't generalize. I live in countryside state of São Paulo and never been robbed, and violence is very difficult to occur in general. When considering a country as big as Brazil the thing is some parts (specifically the northeast region is quite dangerous and poor) but the southeast/south part is much better. São Paulo state being the most developed part of Latin America as a whole, leading in economy and toping lists of safest south America's cities in the countryside. Great video tho.

    I've been to all these countries except Colombia (unless you count the airport). I absolutely love Peru, the people there are kind and considerate and the country has a lot to offer especially in terms of food with food being absolutely cost effective. The capital of Lima is costly and with the influx of Venezuelans, the country has become more dangerous but overall it's still one of the most pleasant countries I've been to.

    I think it would be better if you gave income as a percentage compared to the cost of living. How well local wages meets the cost of living seems more useful. Also, you should probably choose the highest rated city in each country to compare, since the entire point is to find the best place to move to.

Santiago, Buenos Aires & Montevideo (where I live) are more comfortable, they actually have a mild winter. I loved Santiago when I visited, the only drawback was the headache from the smog. B.A. is the N.Y. of South America with their nightlife and Montevideo is close enough to B.A. but far enough from all the noise. The sad thing is that none of them are safe enough. However I do recommend visiting and if you have a good pension and you like the country life then Uruguay is a gem.

    Even though I appreciate the effort this is not a good ranking. Talking about the weather, humidity could be a huge drawback if you are not used to it. Overall I think Paraguay would be in the last position, first position could be a tie between Chile and Uruguay.

      Brazil is not very humid, during 3/4 months of the year not even a drop of rain falls, but we are blessed because we have 13% of the world's potable fresh water

      1500 meters in the Colombian Andes has the perfect climate and it is vastly better than anything in Chile or Uruguay.

    It’s hard to categorize Brazil like that. It’s too large, complex and unequal.
    Some regions are much better than others using your inputs. What you get there is an average that doesn’t say much, and some of the inputs are only representative of brasilia the capital, which doesn’t resemble most of Brazil at all.
    It’s complicated

    The Avg temperature for Bogota, Volombia should really have been shifted to Medellin, as bogota is an anomaly and just happens to be so high up In the mountains. plus if this is based on countries with the most interest. Medellin has much more expat interest than Bogota.
