If you are planning a relocation to Uruguay, most relocation firms primarily handle the paperwork. Sierra Atlántica is a young Uruguayan company aiming to handle everything people relocating to Uruguay need: from your first scouting trip until you feel 100% settled in.
Founded in 2020, six years later, Sierra Atlántica has helped almost 6,000 people from 45 countries obtain residency in Uruguay. On Google they have an excellent 4.9/5 rating and they are registered with Uruguay XXI, the Uruguay import and investment agency.
They offer much more than residency. Legal processes, housing, schooling, banking, healthcare, international moving, certified translation, corporate setup, tax structuring, soft landing—you can work with the team, from start to finish.
Guru’Guay reached out to a number of their clients to hear about their experiences. One client described the team as “very helpful, knowledgeable and friendly”.
Another said: “I cannot emphasize enough how well they supported me throughout the entire relocation process. They saved me an enormous amount of time. Many processes here can be quite bureaucratic and time-consuming, and having the right support made everything much smoother and less stressful.”
Languages spoken English, Spanish, French, Portuguese and German — one of the most complete multilingual teams in Uruguay’s relocation sector.
Sierra Atlántica really wants to help their clients fit into Uruguayan life They throw an annual “Expat Day” and they’ve launched the Sierra club for locals and foreigners alike to enjoy social and cultural events, solidify a friend and business network and obtain discounts at local businesses.
LGBTQI+ very welcome Sierra Atlántica is committed to supporting the LGBT community in their relocation to Uruguay. I always remember a trans client from the US who felt so respected in their residency process with one of the Sierra staff (a straight man). Check out Uruguay’s LGBT record.
Broad local network Sierra Atlántica can assist with many of the practical challenges that come with a relocation to Uruguay, and draw on a wide network of local professionals when specialist expertise is needed.
Sierra Atlántica is a relatively young and growing company They are improving systems and working to tailor their Uruguay relocation services. But they are a young team—average age of staff is thirty. Should you need more guidance, for example, around timelines or the pros and cons of certain decisions, don’t be afraid to insist.
Relocation to Uruguay which puts relationships first Sierra Atlántica founder, Diego Lacurcia, has a favourite measure of success: when his clients end up becoming supporters of his football team. Love this.

Karen, your recommendation of Sierra Atlántica was one of the main reasons we decided to reach out to them, and we’re so glad we did. After spending a VIP day exploring Punta del Este with their team, and at your suggestion, having another VIP day in Lavalleja, we gained the clarity and confidence we needed to move forward with our relocation plans. We came home and decided to begin planning our move to Uruguay. Thank you for pointing us in the right direction. Your knowledge, experience and recommendations have been invaluable throughout this journey.
This is so great to read!
It’s been a year since you referred us to Sierra Atlántica and it was one of the best things to happen to us in this entire process. The entire team is warm and comforting and they are very, VERY good at their jobs— they’ve taken us by the hand through applying for residency, obtaining health insurance, buying a car, opening bank accounts, renting a house, buying property and now building a house. We cannot overstate how much they have helped us, and not just with these big things. Diego and team have been there for us through figuring out those seemly simple daily tasks that are just different here to helping negotiate with grumpy neighbors. We have no idea what we would have done without them. Diego and the Sierra Atlántica team are the kind of people you are lucky to find anywhere and we couldn’t be more grateful.
Ginger, can’t say how delighted I am to read how, a year later, you are still working with Sierra Atlantica in so many areas of your life. Thank you for taking the time to write a testimony 🙏 — Karen
Karen – Thanks to your introduction and recommendation of Sierra Atlantica a few months ago, I have been working with them on the immigration process. Diego and his team have been great to work with. My immigration hearing is set for May in Montevideo and they are guiding me through the process. I will be in Uruguay for two weeks in May and am very excited to be there for the first time! Based on my experience with Sierra Atlantica, I recommend their services without reservation.
So great to hear, Bart!! — Karen
