I'm chilean and I love my country.
I also would LOVE to have the opportunity to live on each South American country.
We, the south Americans are warm and lovely people and each one of our countries have something unique and very special to offer 🥰
Amo a mi gente de SudAmérica ♥
Yes I love you all there I would love to go down there an live
I love y'all

Hello fellow chilean im a paraguayo
Cheers! I'm peruvian by the way
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.
Por algo Paraguay tiene la 2da más grande comunidad de inmigrantes brasileros sólo superado por Estados Unidos, lo cierto es que día a día el flujo de inmigrantes de todas las naciones crece vertiginosamente y no son refugiados económicos sino en su mayoría mano de obra capacitada en busca de oportunidades de desarrollo
Concordo ctgo
@@alexisgenial08 sim, tudo traficante ou contrabandista
@@alexisgenial08 como você disse, não são refugiados, estão indo pro Paraguai pois é barato para o brasileiro, acontece o mesmo com gauchos indo para o centro-oeste e agora para o Piauí comprar terras e fazer dinheiro, pois no RS já era caro. Tudo questão de oportunidades, mas não que seja melhor ou pior.
En total todo sir America Es lindo exepta Bolivia
as a brazilian i think that my country is so freaking big and diversity in everything(culture, population, climate, life quality) that is actually more interesting making a video for which part/state of Brazil you want to live.
I am here with you my friend, in Recife but know the south too, love it all !
But Canada is very dangerous and unequal
@@gocanada9749 south is better, the northeast is beautiful in natural beauties but it has a great contrast, a lot of poverty
I wanna live in Acre.
Obviously, for you your country will always be your number 1.
As a European, I have always been fascinated by South America
Me too - its such an interesting continent!
As a Brazilian, I have always been fascinated by Europe :))

As a person living in South America, Chile, i will recommend you to just come and visit but do not intend to settle down here or in any latin american country :/ We have unique landscapes, beautiful nature but the people in general and the corrupt governments are ruining what it should be a paradise...
True. I'm happy to read your comment - always a pleasure. I think Chile is the most developed one, isn't it?
@@MovingAbroad it is the most balanced country
@@MovingAbroad even if it has corruption, every cluntry in aouth America has so it ain't a big deal
Where do you think the friendliest country in South America ? I know ,this might be a subjective answer , but Im interested in your opinion..I do not have any experience in It...Some said Brasil , but Brasil is not seems to be a safe country...
@@andraskleistenes8586 even if the average brasilian is calm and gentile, that doesnt make his country any less dangerous
Paraguay is also good to visit, nice people, beautiful countryside landscapes and river beaches
I'll definitely need to visit Paraguay once in my lifetime! A warm welcome to this channel :)
Wtf is paraguay lol
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.
El gobierno paraguayo nunca se esforzó en hacer marketing para atraer turismo y es por eso que nisiquiera dentro del país es muy conocido del todo los lugares turisticos(hoy en dia va mejorando eso) y esa es la razón del por que no se habla de paraguay a la hora de hacer turismo y además está en medio de países enormes y con paisajes iguales y más variados
All of those factors you mentioned (people, culture, food) are extremely subjective. He made a more objective analysis of the countries, which is the best considering he is not doing this for himself but for other people to have an idea
Yo soy de Chile y espero poder prontamente visitar paraguay, es uno de los paises que me falta...... me atrae mucho porque se ve un país muy exotico
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.
I'm from Latin America.

@@PeakApex You are always welcome, but may I know the reason for the ban?
I lived in Buenos Aires for over 10 years. My choice for long term living in South America is as follows, Argentina 🇦🇷 Brazil 🇧🇷 or Uruguay. I don't think you would go wrong with any of these countries.
Uruguay is a very beautiful country with a more educated people and less insecurity. It is an expensive country.
@@josealejandrosirokesteve4450
How is the nature of Uruguay ?
@@Figue- You mean the climate or what type of landscape?
@@riverofcustard5027 the landscape :)
@@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.
Brazilian here. My rankings:
Chile > Uruguay > Argentina > Brazil/Colombia > Peru > Paraguay/Ecuador > Bolivia > Venezuela
Brazil and Colombia are worse than many countries due to their insecurity and inequality and it's hard to find a job
@@VidelaArg Actually no, is easy find jobs here in Brazil, you just need to have a graduation at School and college, it includes every year at school complete
como chileno:
Chile > Argentina (YOLO) > Uruguay > Brazil > Bolivia(¡Santa Cruz de la Sierra!)/Perú > Paraguay/Ecuador/Venezuela/Colombia
@@ilovesheryterry Yea right, why are the Venezuelans are fleeing into Colombia if it is better? Basically, things have improved a lot in Colombia in the past 10 years and many people have not caught up.
Wow this was such an in depth video it was almost mind boggling??? So much info to absorb? but you sure laid it out very well and concise! Thank you for putting all that work in one video! Very nice.
João Pessoa is one of the best places in Brazil with gorgeous beaches 🏖
Excellent video. Useful information
The equation changed a lot for Argentina,
since the Blue dollar exchange rates jumps
almost 200 pesos a dollar (formal rate 90's :1 )
if your income in foreign currency,
Agentina became cheaper than Paraguay in 2021
Uruguay 🇺🇾 great I live there and it is amazing
I want to move in Ushuaia, Argentina someday :D, I'm from Romania, Europe :)
After knowing current position of Argentina?
@@AliRaza-rw3nd At least Patagonia is better than Buenos Aires and the City of Buenos Aires xd
@@AliRaza-rw3nd This comparison is not real. Argentina is by far more secure than colombia and Paraguay, If you live in the City of buenos Aires, you can leave your car parked in the street and forget about it,. You can use your phone on the street without any problem... these two things are impossible in Bogota.... Public Transportation in Buenos Aires is efficient, cost of living is super low, and is by far the best looking city in of Latin America...
Bariloche, San Martin and Villa la angostura are better places to live than ushuaia.... And don't listen to this video, This comparison is not real.

For the majority of people they forget that travelling in and living in a country are 2 different things !
Your Human Development ranking is not up to date. Colombia’s value is .767 and Brasil is .765!
My Ranking as a Chilean
1. Costa Rica
2. Panamá
3. Chile
4. Uruguay
5. South of Brazil.
I would recommend Argentina, but not until the peronists leave the government. Right now is not safe.
I know Panamá and Costa Rica are central americans but i needed more countries because right now the stable countries in south america arent too many
Costa Rica and Panama are in South America? Chileans don't know Geography? Hahah

Thanks!
Peru is extremely nice humble people, great cuisine. If you move to Peru, go to Andes, not Lima. The capital is the worst city in our country.
@shiquita please add me on Facebook : lounis Enzo Djadda , I want to talk to u ^^
Which is the friendliest country in South America? Can a european survive in the Andes, considering that is less oxygen at high altitude?
@@andraskleistenes8586 Argentina and Uruguay are known to be very friendly towards tourists in general but I would like to add Venezuela, people who I met are also very friendly! And anyone can live or stay in the Andes, you just have to go up slowly and if needed you have to make a stop so you don't get dizzy
Lima is beautyful, the sea, the night life, a little noisy but i like, obviusly if you rathe the nature and silent, is better arequipa i think
Don't listen to her, she is wrong. I'm from Peru and if you move here go to the city Lima places like Miraflores, San Isidro, La Molina or San Borja. Never go to the Andes except places like the Sacred Valley in Cusco and Oxapampa.
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.
Yes I must agree. I'm from Canada and have visited Brazil three times. I spent 6 months traveling about the southern part of the country. From Corumba, Campo Grande, Florianopolpus, Sao Paulo, etc. I had a great time. No security problems, friendly people and great food. I love Brazil!
My fiance is in Sao Paulo Brazil he is in hospital there I pray he come home soon he has covid 19 is it a good place to live
Seu rabo que a região do nordeste é a mais perigosa!! Esse país todo é perigoso. Enquanto o nordeste é exemplo de educação no Brasil SP e Rio de Janeiro com as maiores favelas da América Latina, as maiores facçoes do Brasil vem desses dois estados, sem falar da poluição de SP. Fácil querer resumir o nordeste a “pobreza” quando estamos sendo uma das regiões que mais está crescendo economicamente, e que possui a melhor educação, enquanto a região sudeste possui a mesma criminalidade só que com custo de vida mais caro.
São paulo é o estado mais desenvolvido do Brasil assim como também o mais poluído, e com a maior favela da América Latina, com altos índices de criminalidade e roubo. E fora o custo altíssimo de vida para se viver em locais perigosos
Dinheiro n é tudo
Countryside em inglês é o mesmo que zona rural. Em ingles não tem termo para designar o que entendemos por interior. Vc pode dizer que mora numa cidade pequena, ou porte medio, longe ou perto de uma metropole como SP. Mas countryside é só quando vc mora num sitio, no meio do nada.
Bogota is at 2640m of altitude so climate is vastly different in coastal cities in colombia
Good point. I just learned that after I finished making this video 😅
Thanks Karo for your comment 👍🏻
Yes! The coast of Colombia are so different!! Cartagena, Barranquilla, Santa Marta are beautiful cities with great beaches and islands!
@@MovingAbroad why are you making videos that can change important decision of someone else life without even knowing 5% of any of the countries you listed here. You said so many things wrong, starting with paraguay which is considered to be way lower than perú here in latam. Plus these numbers can't judge a country, Chile is on a verge of an economic collapse that caused the 2019 revolts bc their politician want to paint pretty numbers to the world hiding the reality of it.
In about 4-5 years my small family and I have decided to visit my family members in Chile.
Because we'll be staying with family members during our visit.
What's the best time of year to travel?
December-February?
March-May?
October-December?
Thanks
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.
Everybody saying don't come to South America but I say, COME TO SOUTH AMERICA! Haha I mean, it's the best of both Western worlds. If you are from Europe, it's like a Lite version of Europe. Still developing, struggling but the best part, it's full of opportunities! With a better climate and similar culture from southern Europe. If you are able to get your income in dollars/euros then you will live like a king and there's space for entrepreneurship
Lite version of europe hahaha. Its a shthole .Filled with drugs, corruption, prostitution, femicide and gang warfare
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.
Very well done video
Very good video. However, taxes can be a big deal for certain incomes and influence quite a lot the quality of life. I hope in the future you can make a new version considering taxes as well for mid incomes for example. For low incomes the ranking is perfect but for mid-value incomes, it might change a lot. thanks
I don't think you'd be particularly concerned with average income if your retirement pension is in Euros or £ sterling. The climates vary widely so the focus on capital cities should be taken with a pinch of salt. Infrastructure and quality of housing should also be taken into consideration. But all in all you did a good job Franz.
Ótimo vídeo!!!! Entendi um pouco!
Paraguayan here. Paraguay is indeed filled with immigrants from South America, mostly Argentina, Brazil, Bolivia, Uruguay, Venezuela.
European immigration is raising and many professionals settle their life in Asuncion.
Nice video!
I hear the women there in Paraguay like Anglo European men?
@@beebers99 paraguay solo hay índios guaranis
Argentinos en Paraguay: 60.000 principalmente son paraguayos con ciudadanía Argentina
Paraguayos en Argentina: 2.500.000
As a south American I cant tell that those factors change a lot, way too much depending of the place of the country so that could be a good general indicative but if you actually wanna live in South America you should investigate more about specific places but there isn’t that much information so the best is probably just visiting
So surprise of seeing Uruguay 2nd, love this tiny little giant, but its true that we are expensive af and prices are getting higher while income in middle and lower classes lowered!!! Not a great idea to settle here until the government changes
partisan political comment !
y en el interior del pais debe ser mas barato? en Durazno hay dos hectareas por $8000 dolares
El interior es mucho más barato (con la exepción de Punta del Este, Colonia del Sacramento, y otros destinos turísticos), pero las oportunidades laborales son mucho más escasas
I smell Broad Fraud voter...
I have a good friend in Uruguay and she constantly talks about how expensive it is and I can understand her
A very German approach.
Not bad but inaccurate
Assuming climate has seasons, which is not the case for Peru, Colombia and part of Brazil. Colombia has every weather possible depending on elevation. Yes Chile might be great weather if you are looking for European like weather, but for that matter stay in Europe.
Some flaws on Argentina. Is the assumption that your are making EUROs or Pesos, because ARG Pesos has a huge constant deprecation
Brazil is simply to Big to generalize on all categories.
Anyway. Thanks for the viceo
BRAZIL IS THE POWER !!!
não mano vç fala mierdiña
I love all of south America ❤️ thank you my indigenous native American friend
the climate in colombia is really great you can choose if you want warmer cities or coldest, for example Bogotá or Medellín.
and we have really beautifull beaches. but... the security is something that you have to keep in mint, i'm colombian and i dont fell secure here.
I love the fact that hilly Colombian cities have temperate weather year round.
@@Guizambaldi Yeah, he was really wrong on that.

Thank you Alex! Glad you like it👍🏻 have a great weekend
Great video but I just would like to see some representation of Guyana as you called every country except that one seeing as it’s between Venezuela and Suriname. Also it’s an anglophone country which would make it easier for English speakers.
Guyana is the poorest country in the subcontinent (South America) even if they speak English I don't think you'll like it.
Sweet just so proud to be chilean 🇨🇱 i was born on the right southamerican country but there is still some inequalities that need to be fix
I'd love to visit Chile one day... A warm welcome to this channel!
Todo muy bonito hasta que llegue el progresismo al poder y les dejé peor que argentina
É nós a corrupção 😭😭😭🇧🇷
You should rather visit uruguay chile or peru
As for climate, i'd evaluate it differently, i'm chilean, and Santiago's temperature is not representative of the country, as it is vastly different from the hot desert on the north to the icy glaciers to the south, while the center is very comfortable, not too hot nor cold.
Also, personally I prefer cold weather, and I loved Bogota's temperature, while I couldn't stand anywhere else in Colombia, it was too hot for me.

"quality of life" in Brazil? c'mon it is not the same to live in Curitiba or Teresinha... and Argentina? it was once, long ago... the absolute tops are Chile and Uruguay, although you can also live peacefully in Paraguay or Bolivia if this is how you understand "quality" for you. And then there is also the factor of inherent potential and natural richness, where Chile, Peru, Brazil and Argentina lead, although Colombia is also very rich in natural resources and has a quite advanced industrial sector. All in all looking for a balance and specially considering potential and international economic ties and geopolitical alliances I would vote for Chile.

Although I agree with your final result, I do have some reserves with your method. For example Paraguay & Brazil are too hot and humid for most people in the northern hemisphere like me, I'm from Toronto. 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.
São Paulo is the NY of SA
I've been to every country on this list except for Colombia. My conclusion about them is:
1) Uruguay: beautiful and has a great quality of life, but it's mononotous and peripheric. Great place to retire.
2) Argentina: great place to visit, terrible place to live. Amazing wines, cafes, bookstores and culture, but the country seems finished. Argentinians are leaving at a quick pace.
3) Peru: fascinating culture and one of the best cuisines in the world. Still, it's really poor when compared to other countries in South America. Even in Lima, that has a population of 8 million, everything is really simple. The infrastructure is really bad.
4) Brazil: the secons you step your foot in Brazil, especially in Sao Paulo, it becomes clear that it is the "capital" of Latin America. It's a dynamic country with a little bit of everything. It had problems with violence and inequality, but as huge country, most places are pretty chill. Basically, it allows you to choose your lifestyle.
5) Chile: Santiago surprised me. It really is one of the most beautiful cities in South America. Amazing place to live. Not to mention the stunning nature.
6) Paraguay: nothing to see there. Don't bother.
Thank you
@@zorbathegreek8339 not true. Brazil is an amazing country. Cities like Curitiba, Goiânia, Campo Grande, Porto Alegre, Florianópolis and many others are rich, beautiful and have an amazing quality of life. Keep in mind, I'm just mentioning the state capital cities. I could also mention cities like Maringá, Ribeirão Preto, Uberlandia, Joinville, etc, etc etc. São Paulo is dynamic and has literally a bit of everything. Brazil has a bad image especially because of Rio, but the fact is that it's such a large country, that anything you want in your life can be achieved depending on where you choose to live.
Chile is rich and has one of the biggest HDIs in the Americas. Not much left to argue there.
@@joaopedropeixoto8558 It shows that you are completely ignorant, in Argentina if you live well. except if you are an immigrant because many foreigners from chile, bolivia and paraguay emigrate to Argentina to study for free at the universities because the services are free
@@joaopedropeixoto8558 Furthermore Peru is not a poor country, in fact it is richer than countries like Brazil or Colombia in terms of GDP per capita. it is only under uruguay argentina and chile. The infrastructure is bad I will not deny, but it is not a poor country for the average South American like Bolivia or Paraguay
@@VidelaArg no, it's not. Brazil's GDP per capita is over 8.000 US dollars. Peru's is around 7.000; Doesn't seem like a big difference, except when you compare it in Purchasing Power Parity (PPP): an average brazilian has a purchasing power of over 16 thousand dollars, while the average peruvian, aroung 11 thousand.
But you're absolutely right when you say Peru is not as bad as Bolivia or Paraguay. Still, everything is simpler when compared to countries like Brazil, Argentina and Chile.
In Chile we have all kind of climate, it’s depends where you live. As you can see is a long country, from tropical climate at north to Mediterranean weather in the centre and cold climate at the south
Bolivia, Ecuador, Venezuela, Guyana, suriname, and French Guiana: ight imma head out
If i followed your advise i should have moved at least 25 times :-)
Hahaha yeah that's right😂 It's really hard to benefit from all these upsides of all our countries 😃
south American watching this video:
Why do you want to move here?
In my opinion, cold weather is better and I dont really think it is a good idea to put cost of living the way it is because if a place has low cost of living it probably also has less economic development.
Awesome
i think Healthcare should have been a category on its own
Nice
there is no way colombia has a such cold climate , they are in the freaking tropic , I am from uruguay , we have cold winters , but Ive lived in venezuela for almost a decade , and it was hot as fukk , and colombia is just next door man .
thank you
Nice stats but it's all about the ease of acquiring a residency permit or visa. Without that stats mean nothing when determining a country to reside in.
I would move to Brazil but unfortunately I'm currently learning Spanish instead of Portuguese. Most countries in Latin America speak Spanish so I'll probably pick a different country.
Although I already know Chile is the best country. I am inclined to move to Colombia, people there are friendly!! and affordable to live, overall.
Many Colombians live in Chile tho 😊
Peru is better than Chile in every single aspect
The best country it's Uruguay
Ecuador is where most expats are moving to
Let me give you advice. If you are rich you quality of life improve no matter where you are
Astonishingly good levels of security in Colombia and terrible climate... ok, it seems at one point I jumped to a parallel dimension
I dont know what the hell the guys from quality of life were smoking when doing their research, but i can tell they were not sober
I have my doubts about Colombia being safer than Argentina to be honest with you
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.
The BEST Chile and Uruguay!!
Why isn't Bolivia 🇧🇴, Ecuador 🇪🇨 & Venezuela 🇻🇪 display its flags on the map?
Countryes socialist 🤮
Bolivia is too poor and Venezuela is an absolute mess right now, it'd just be abuse to put them in the vid, I'm not sure why wasn't ecuador in though
@@cristiangonzalez161 Ecuador is not a socialist or communist country. Currently, there is a democratically elected center-right government since May 24, 2021.
@@Chris-55 This is very simple, for them, Ecuadorians do not exist.
One question: Have you been in all these countries?, because I really do not see a very accurate way of qualification of them. I have been in all of them more than once.
Okay you seem to have a valid argument let me hear your perspective my friend

Brazil is a peculiar case. Depends on where you live in the country it will be like living in heaven... or hell. It has a huge territory and many huge states with hundreds of cities and towns each. There are plenty of good towns and cities to choose from in Brazil regarding good human development and safety.
Wich cities are the best options?
@@franciscoq1161 There's plenty of medium size cities and small towns in different states, mostly in the Southern most states. Also in the states of São Paulo, Mato Grosso do Sul, Goiás, Minas Gerais one has many good places to choose from. To name the best is quite difficult . Out of the top of my head I can say Maringá-PR, Balneário Camboriú-SC, Gramado-RS, Campos do Jordão-SP, Campo Grande-MS, Petrópolis-RJ, Holambra-SP, Caldas Novas-GO, Chapecó-SC, Blumenau-SC, Rio Preto-SP, Londrina-PR...
Happens in every country not only Brazil.
TOTALLY CORRECT , BRASIL is like the US, you can't generalize about the country, it's different from one end to the next
So, why were Ecuador and Bolivia omitted?
Because for them, we don't exist.
Ecuador is amazing, nice beaches, they use american dollar, it is a safe country.
The best ones are the smaller ones. Some not even in the list.

Thanks :D💖
My opinion as an Argentinian citizen:
Do not move to South America. I don't understand what could possibly make you arrive to that idea. In almost every country, average salaries are within or close to the poverty line. Owning cars or buying houses is for the rich, and salaries are incredibly low compared to the US or Europe, except perhaps Chile.
The only circumstance in which moving to South America could be an interesting thought is if you somehow smuggle in your european/north american salary or cash out your sources of income into local money. For an average us income, you might be able to live in a gated community or wealthy suburbs and enjoy a luxurious life taking advantage of low prices in general. Anyway, it's not as easy as it may sound. You'll need to do a deep research about taxation and foreign currency policies and you might have to do things off the books. Argentina converts your money at the restricted bank USD rate (here you already lose half), and then strikes you with 40%~ taxes (you'll be the highest bracket possible, of course). I've heard Uruguay is much friendlier, but you should do your own research.
I want to retire in Latin America but its always the safety and tax that's always the hurdle.

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.
Santa Cruz de la Sierra en Bolivia it is a nice place to live.
Guyana 🇬🇾 recently discovered a frick tone of light weight oil, so they're on track to become the 3rd wealthiest country in the America's by income. Just behind the U.S 🇺🇸 & Canada 🇨🇦. But there's a slight problem. Guyana 🇬🇾 has a huge border dispute with Venezuela 🇻🇪 which could turn into a regional conflict.
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
As an advise You should put the pros and cons not what's better because is up to the person what's better for him or her.
PERU 🇵🇪 VS COLOMBIA 🇨🇴 ??? THOUGHTS....
Guyana and Suriname left the chat
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Obviously these comparisons are based on capitals, but some of these countries are so big, things like climate vary wildly depending on where you move, if you are in the north of Chile you are in the driest desert on earth, if you move to the south tip, you are near the south pole, surrounded by fjords, strong winds and rain.
Same with crime, the south of Chile is very safe and peaceful, but the capital Santiago can be very dangerous, same as some northern cities. So a lot will depend on which areas you move into, unlike more developed countries like Germany, where almost every area has similar quality of life, in Chile it can vary greatly from region to region and general averages don't show this. So if you move here, please research the region or city you plan on moving into.
"Any South American nation is good but except Venezuela because everything there are worst similar direction my home country Philippines will be heading to .?!"
This comparison is very unfair Brazil is the fifth largest country in the world, it has a population of 213 million people, it is obvious that it is more difficult to manage all this immensity than our small neighbors with a population of 30 million. As a resident of South America, I say, the only country better than Brazil in South America is Chile. But the natural beauties of Brazil are the best, good weather almost all year round and the best beaches.
But put the picture of Lima not Cuzco, Cuzco (Machu Picchu) is like 2 hours by plane from Lima. But they represent Peru always with Cuzco, then they talk about Lima, and when I say I am from there, they think I live two blocks from Machu Picchu, in a high place, next to the Andes. When the truth is that Lima is the coast, sea level, I can hardly walk in Cuzco.
My fiance is in n Sao Paulo Brazil in the hospital with covid I wish I could get him here to Fayetteville Arkansas so I can be by his side he has covid 19 an I told him about angel flight
I think this study is far from right and things ve changed a lot. For example fall, spring and summer (9 months per year) in Paraguay are unbearable due to too warm temperatures, low pressure and above all humidity. Is the jungle. Of the capitals / most important cities of each country considered, Buenos Aires, Argentina, despite financial trouble and maybe due to this, is by far the best !!
What about bureaucracy?
How are the landscapes and nature in Uruguay ?
There are not so much biodiversity, it is an small country, but have nice beaches.
Atlantic Ocean and flat country fields. That's all there is. Still the cities are very pretty and chill.
I live in Paraguay
German?

Colombians are most connected/amicable with Mexicans. I'd say followed by Chile.
