Thanks for the information. Would you mind if I pm you? I really could use a friend who has done this before to help me avoid a few of the more common pitfalls. Thanks!

Well a gringo didn't buy it :). My inlaws who are Peruvian purchased it and gave it too us. My wife also Peruvian so no one will find out about the gringo connection (hopefully).

My wife is from Peru and we have just been given a 149m2 lot 30 km east of Lima. We are thinking about building a two story house or apt building on it.

Has anyone done this for profit before? We could use any and all advice. Thanks!

My wife graduated from Cenfotur in 2000 or 2001. She has a ton of good memories and I hear it is an excellent school. All of her friends from there seem to be doing very well.

My wife is Peruvian and her and our daughter are there on a vacation right now. They are loving it, my daughter is telling me on skype I should come there and she doesn't want to come back. :) I am seriously debating leaving everything behind and starting over.

It is much less expensive to live in Chiclayo. There is more opportunity for social activity than we had liv...

Thanks for the reply! I never thought about teaching other subjects in English.

Hi, I am debating on moving to Lima - MiraFlores area fairly soon. I am not worried about housing, living there, moving our stuff, or cars but I am worried about finding work.

Hi, this is my first post... I am looking at moving to Peru from the states. My wife is from there and has lived here since 2001.
