Peru Is Back on the List of Safe and Pleasant Locations for American Retirees or Expatriates

An American expat working as a photographer in Lima, Peru (his name is Jamie Douglas) is which claims that Peru is again regarded as appropriate for Americans seeking a second or retirement home. Apparently, the recent victor in that nation's presidential elections (Ollanta Humala) has happily surprised the investment community with his moderate choices of skilled technocrats for his cabinet and his generally responsible approach to economic decisions. Business is booming and all sorts of American expats are apparently moving to Lima, Cusco, Mendoza or Arequipa, where one-bedroom apartments in the very center of Lima are available for as little as $400 a month, and three-bedroom apartments are available in other cities for the same. What's most attractive about Peru, he claims, is the quality and low cost of its medical and dental services, and the $200-a-month wages of a domestic servant.
