Hola,
I am currently seriously considering a relocation to a new country. I (30/M) am a straight-presenting gay white dude, 6’ 1”, who speaks Spanish with a castellano dialect. I have a dog and enjoy the outdoors, but I also enjoy having entertainment options that cities offer.
I studied Spanish in university and part of that was learning about the culture of different Latin American countries. I’ve heard Buenos Aires is beautiful, and I’ve also heard chile and Uruguay are nice for expats.
Things I’m considering:
– cost of living
– ease of getting a visa
– safety
– LGBTQ acceptance
– access to nature
– access to entertainment (shows, plays, etc)
Any information is helpful! I am a skilled professional that has a market in Latin American countries, so I’m hoping I could get a job to financially support me.
Oh, ETA: I am a scuba diver. I know there are tons of amazing dive spots, and I’m not concerned about traveling to these destinations. But I do love the ocean, (and the mountains and jungles equally 🙃).

Honestly, I think Uruguay is your best choice, even if it is more expensive than the other alternatives. It is more economically stable right now than Argentina and seems somewhat more progressive than Chile.
That being said, I don’t think you’ll have to worry about safety in any of the best cities in the Southern Cone
nice for migrants, you say?
Is Spain not an option? It isn’t LatAm of course, but of all your considerations, the only one that Spain does not check is maybe cost of living. Spain is still much cheaper than the USA though, unless you move to Chueca or Eixample or something similar.
It’s hard to get all of these, but if cost of living can be high buenos aires. If you can give up on entertainment and lgbtq acceptance (it’s not the worse) paraguay
Ciudad Bolívar
With enough money you can live comfortably in almost any major city with no issue
Please go to Chile they will love you there

Why would you include your skin colour in the question? It’s irrelevant.
Oh and you meant immigrant.
