    I am Peruvian and have lived in the United States for a long time. You don't know how much I envy you, but a healthy envy. Peru is a very beautiful, quiet and very touristy country. 500 years ago we were a kingdom of Spain, as such you will find a lot of viceregal architecture of the time. Very modern places and especially the gastronomy.
    I thank you from the bottom of my heart for how well you speak about my country, even more so, about a beautiful foreigner.
    I have decided that the day I retire from my job, I will go live in Peru, I plan to buy an apartment in a quiet and modern area, it is not that expensive.
    Lima is a good place to live.
    Greetings from New Jersey.

    Hi, My Peruvian wife and I moved to San Bartolo 50k south of Lima a few months ago after many years of living in Europe and the Middle East for the exactly the reasons you mentioned. Our pensions are worth a lot more here. One key expense to consider though is health insurance which is essential to have. We own a car for journeys back to Lima and excursions and I find the costs to be very reasonable for this. Saludos Jim

    When you try Peru's diferent kind of food, be careful, you don't want to leave. And if you leave, you find american regular food disgusting.

      There are approximately 195 countries in the world, and these creatures are found in over 90% of them. Where the hell do you live? Perhaps you realize these creatures are not often found in large cities? Such a strange comment.

    What about crime and corruption? I lived in Brazil (Rio de Janeiro) and loved the beach culture there, but the crime and corruption were unbearable; not to mention the racism, colorism, and xenophobia. That said, in Brazil, I was being scammed by the owner of my apartment and the apartment/condominium staff with ever-increasing monthly fees… and also they were robbing me, poisoning my food/water supply, breaking things (in hopes I’d pay them for repair services) while I was away from the apartment. All of this involved more than 10 Brazilians working in conjunction to scam and rob me, which led me to leave Brazil for SE Asia. I’m now thinking about relocating back to South America with Paraguay and Peru at the top of my list, but I’m still a bit traumatized by what happened in Brazil. Hence, the reason why I’m asking about crime and corruption in Peru, and seeing as I value said information even more coming from the perspective of a fellow African-American expat.

      @@DamienGWilson Although I have not experienced these things during my time in Peru or Brazil, I agree with you that the scams, corruption and desperation in South America are an ever present threat. For me, I experienced more scammers in the DR and Colombia. Those places are full of people trying to rob, steal and take advantage of foreigners. It’s awful to hear what happened to you but I think Peru is a whole different vibe.

      huh… sorry to hear mate. as a peruvian who lived in brazil as well, i have never encountered this. in peru crime is perhaps less organised. but stealing is a thing, and lying too. nevertheless, lima as a mega city is much safer than RJ or SP.

      i haven’t seen that black people are treated bad in Peru per se and id def put my bets on it over Paraguay but one thing id mention is that it seems more segregated than other countries in latam. in other countries you’ll find afro latinos in the mix everywhere, but in peru it seems they stick to their own communities or certain regions.
