What is it like to retire in Peru?

"Retirees in Peru and its surroundings can enjoy a vibrant and active lifestyle. There is an active expat community in Peru, with many retirees from the United States, Canada, and Europe. There are plenty of cultural attractions to explore, such as the ancient Incan ruins of Machu Picchu, the colonial architecture of Lima, and the vibrant markets of Cusco. There are also plenty of recreational activities to enjoy, such as hiking, biking, and bird watching. For those looking for a more active nightlife, there are plenty of bars, clubs, and restaurants to explore," said one retiree in Peru.

"We have a very active ex-pat community here. Besides all of the famous cultural sites here, we have amazing restaurants, good health clinics, movie theaters, grocery stores, Surfing beaches, parasailing and anything else I could want just a few minutes walk from my front door," commented one retiree living in Lima, Peru.
