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

Nice review, and consider that Lima is the most expensive city in Peru by far. If you go to small cities/towns like Oxapampa or Chachapoyas you can cut by 3 or 4 you expenses. You just need to consider that in these places the infraestructure isn’t the best compared with Lima. But if you are a nature person those towns are excelent options to live in.

Great job, Claire! I’ve also lived in New York City and Los Angeles, and the home prices there are insane compared to living here in Japan. I subscribed—keep the posts coming, and let’s stay connected. Thanks!

Wonderful information. Thank you so much for sharing. I will be retiring (Hopefully) in two years. Do not want to stay in the USA frankly becuase SS will not be enough for my put. I started visiting different countries this year.... Dominican Republic, Mexico and Honduras. Fell in love with DR and Roatan Honduras. I would love to venture in 2025 to Peru, Thailand and the Philippines. When is the best time to visit Peru? any additional information is greatly appreciated.

I am from Cusco, Peru, and I live in Florida. I have 2 kids, and I am looking to go for the summer so my kids can experience my culture. Let me tell you renting there is super affordable. Cusco is the most beautiful city full of culture, people are super nice and a lot of them speak English because its the number one tourist place, super safe and the food is not only affordable but the healthiest

Last month I completed a 32-day cruise of South America which included 6 of the 12 countries of South America including Peru. Peru was nice but, the traffic in Lima is on another level. My favorite countries in South America are Colombia, Chile and Uruguay.

Thank you so much for posting a video with a positive yet balanced view. I’m seeing so many videos on South American relocation that are very click-baity, yet super negative. I currently live in Japan and the opposite extreme of expat vids is true, they all skew so positive that people would think life in Japan will be a cake walk😂 Thanks again!

I am glad that you like Peru. I hoppe you can visit Tingo Maria. It is located in the rain forest, beatiful and cheaper.

[chaski]

Thank you for the great tips! Blessings and best wishes in this beautiful country. Praying the government changes for the good in Peru!

[sashaguzman]

I noticed a lot of people are choosing Colombia or Mexico. Why did you skip those countries?

[LaDMalliah-tbbq]

In thenpast i lasted 4 months in los Angeles....ended up homeless living in car and left...then had more success. The expense was crazy there.

What service did you have for your phone? Does Verizon work in Peru?

[dovygoodguy]

Claire, do you have a video discussing your choice of Peru instead of Ecuador, Panama or Mexico? And comparing Lima to Arequipa in terms of infrastructure, congestion, especially in relation to the needs of older folks? I lived in Brooklyn for 35 years. Sick of congestion, humid weather, noise, huge cities, but still seeking amenities and conveniences. Isn't Lima hugely crowded? How do you maintain contact with family in New York?
