Moving to Colombia, seeking local help by Catfish27
Hola. I am a newly retired guy from America and I am considering moving to Colombia. I hope to travel down there within a month or so, but I would first like to make arrangements to meet with some local(s) while I am down there, someone who can ...
Thanks, everybody, for the detailed input. Still going through it. The coffee district sounds and looks good (based also on YouTube videos).Regarding Effexor, I don't recommend it, as it is possibly the hardest drug in the world to stop taking -- ... Read More

Thanks for the responses. Here are a few details, followed by a possible "deal breaker";-Visit will last probably a month.-I have basic Spanish skills but plan to take courses in Colombia.-I like the idea of a temperate climate, little need of air ... Read More

Visa confusion
Hola.I am thinking of retiring in the Cuzco area of Peru and am puzzled about the Visa process. My understanding is that I need to have lived in Peru for at least a year before I am eligible for residency, and yet a temporary visa is good for only ... Read More
Retiree heading (maybe) to Peru by Catfish27
Hi, I am considering retiring in Peru in 2025 in order to make my retirement more comfortable financially speaking. I would either buy a condo or rent an apartment. I do not need a lot of space, like maybe 700 square feet or so, but am hoping for ...
@trentgh7 I'm not complaining, but it is interesting (and a bit funny) to note some of the issues with looking for houses and apartments in Peru, not just on Remax, but elsewhere. I'll post a few of my thoughts below, in case someone's interested. ... Read More

@trentgh7 Thanks. I don't mind a little remoteness, like in Cusco, but then I'm not sure what that remoteness entails. It looks like there's a mall called Real Plaza that has most of the basic needs of "civilization." My main hope is that I'll be ... Read More

@trentgh7 Thanks very much. Yes, indeed, it seems to me like I could live "like a king," as they say, in Peru if I did not have to pay a monthly mortgage. I'm thinking now of finding a place in Arequipa and Cusco. I will be selling ... Read More

@cccmedia Thanks for the information. I think you're right about waiting to make any purchase. My plan right now is to visit Peru in a month or so and spend a few weeks traveling around and getting an idea of where I'd want to live. I will try ... Read More
