Will I save money living in Lima?

Answer this Question

We asked expats if they save money living in Lima. They said...

"Living in Lima can be significantly cheaper than living in the United States. The cost of living in Peru is much lower than in the US, with basic necessities such as food, transportation, and housing costing significantly less. Additionally, the exchange rate between the US dollar and the Peruvian sol is very favorable, meaning that US dollars can go much further in Peru. As a result, many people find that they can save a considerable amount of money by living in Lima, Peru," wrote a member who made the move to Lima, Peru.
