Three Places to Live in Peru; Two to Avoid
Every year, an increasing number of expats decide to move to Peru for the long term. They are attracted by the inexpensive cost of living, the rich culture, and the array of wonderful traditional foods. Many expats are married to Peruvians and are relocating back to the country after living in the U.S. for years. Others have spent time vacationing in Peru, liked what they saw, and decided to stick around for the foreseeable future.
At last count (2016), just over 100,000 foreigners were living in Peru. Only about 10% of these were from the U.S. Most expats live in Lima because of the amenities and job opportunities.
