Medical Insurance for Expats in Peru

If you are planning on moving to Peru either permanently or temporarily it is important to think about health insurance. Many expatriates get health insurance that is specifically tailored for those living or working abroad from private international health care providers.

The most basic of plans include standard emergency medial insurance, but that is about it.  Many expats choose more classic plans that include special medical treatments, diagnostic procedures, and other routine medical and dental needs. Premium plans obviously include more coverage for the family and prescription coverage. Most private insurance companies offer a variety of plans and are used to tailoring plans to fit the needs of expats. Read more

How do I get my American TV Programs on in Peru?

If you are looking to set up your TV programming in Peru, many chose to go with DirecTV, although there are some things to take into account when deciding how to go about getting all the programs you really want.

Some questions have arisen about whether or not you can use a receiver and an access card from the States to connect to your DirecTV packaging from Peru.

I am by no means an expert in this area, but from what I have read/been told there are a couple of problems with doing this; mainly that the DirecTV Latin America and the DirecTV USA run off of different satellites. This means that even if you used a USA Read more

Peru's Real Estate Market

Ever since 2006 when Peru had the best stock market performance in the world, with an amazing gain of 182 per cent, Peru has been receiving more and more attention by the media for its business prospects.

While it’s true that Peru is not nearly as developed as Panama, and does not have as stable of an infrastructure, this charming South America country has many plus sides. The cost of living is much cheaper than in other more developed Latin American countries and the country in general is less crowded with expatriots. It is… unspoiled, if you will.

There are, however, a number Read more
