Retire in Peru

Walter (201.240.32.244) -

I have been here in Peru for one year now and have concluded that my visit here was one of my few better decisions. I will most likely retire here as I have found the country delightful, the people friendly and warm and the opportunities limitless. Personally I am interested in Aggriculture and economic development to the benefit of the poor and disadvantaged children here. I find the pace here much slower and less stressful than up in the US. Much cheeper to live here as $1.00 will purchase app. $5.00 of value. Yes, I certainly would recommend Peru as your place under the Sun. Let me know if I can be of assistance to you with your questions.

I too have relocated and retired in Peru. I am originally from Houston, Texas. I worked as a correctional officer in Texas Prisons. So my pay for retirement is modest. I find that my money goes so much farther, rent is only $170.00US a month, electricity $40.00US a months and food is minimal. Now...if I could only master Spanish. But the US$ speaks for me.

I am looking to retire in Peru and am just investigating and reviewing real estate opportunities.

I am interested in building or finding a home about 60 miles south of Lima on the beach but am not finding much on the web there. Can anyone help?

I am anxious - we are paying down now and liquidating what we can now to get to Peru.

I think you need to do you serious looking a year or two after you've rented in that area for several reasons:

1) So you really know you'll be comfortable living there

and

2) Because the DEALS are NOT found on the internet. The high end properties with inflated prices are pushed on the internet.

Peru is an awesome place with great people. My Missions team goes down to Lima once a year and helps out orphans in bad situations. I will retire in Lima and can't wait until that time comes.

In order to get papers to live here in Peru you need one of several things:

1. Get married to a Peruvian national; or,

2. Invest $25, 000 in a new business here; or,

3. Get a year-long employment contract with a Peruvian company; or,

4. Show that you are a professional (like locksmith) that can work independently making a living (degrees, certificates, etc. a big plus).
