It's hard to explain because it is very different from how America is organized. It definitely looks less sparse on the ground than on google maps. Colonia Vianna is a town that is surroounded by many small Mennonite settlements, and those Mennonites go to the town to shop. So the town has most of what one needs for daily life. I don't know the Mennonite population.

My wife likes high-end shopping which isn't there. But they have a small private airport and I want to look into using private flights to go to the bigger cities which would solve this kind of thing.
