Colombians in Uruguay
Colombian Uruguayans are people born in Colombia who live in Uruguay, or Uruguayan-born people of Colombian descent.
Overview[edit]
There are few Colombian-born persons living in Uruguay, for a number of reasons. Both countries share the a common language- Spanish; they also have a common historical origin as part of the Spanish Empire. Uruguay is a small, peaceful country, with wide beaches on the Atlantic Ocean and various tourist destinations. Thus, some wealthy Colombians choose Uruguay as their holiday destination. Some even set their permanent residence in Uruguay. Other Colombians with economical hardship come to Uruguay in search of job opportunities, along with other Latin Americans coming to Uruguay for the same reason.[1] And there is also an inflow of Colombian refugees who flee from guerrilla fighting and drug trafficking.[2]
The 2011 Uruguayan census revealed 749 people who had declared Colombia as their country of birth.[3] In 2013, there were just 93 Colombian citizens registered with the Uruguayan social security.[4]
