Uruguayans in Colombia
Uruguayan Colombians are people born in Uruguay who live in Colombia, or Colombian-born people of Uruguayan descent.
There are lots of Uruguayan-born persons living in Colombia, for a number of reasons. The two countries, located on opposite points of the South American subcontinent, share the Spanish language; the historical origins of both nations is common (part of the Spanish Empire until the early 19th century).[1]
In the 21st century, Uruguayan entrepreneurs are increasingly arriving in Colombia in search of business opportunities.[2]
