It is very difficult for a foreigner to get legal work in Peru, or any of the Latin countries for that matter. You can be issued a work visa only if you have a skill or profession that cannot be provided by a local. Even then you usually have to have an employer sponsor. If you were to be an independent language teacher, there is still the issue of visa and or residency.

YOu could always border hop. People on www.expatperu.com have been doing it for years. Barring that, get a BEd, and apply for intl school jobs.

What are the best things to do in Cuzco, Peru

What are the best things to do in Cuzco, Peru?
I'll be working at an Orphanage in Huancayo for three weeks and then I'll be taking a week to go see the sites in Cuzco. What should I do? Machu Picchu is of course the main thing, is there an inexpensive 3 or four day hike through tht jungle I can take? What souvenirs should I look for? Give me the inside scoop so I'll know that to avoid and what not to miss. Thank you!!!!!!

While looking for souvenirs look for like magnets for your refrigerator or come back with exotic fruits or something take 2 to 3 cameras to take pictures of everything you see when u go to reveal the photos make extra copies so that u can give some to ur family or in case one gets lost u still have another one

Hi I would check out Machu Pichu for sure.. You might want to do the lares trek or 2 day inca trail or something like that too. also get a tour of the sacred valley and the cusco city tour. we used www.sunriseperu.com for all our treks and travel there.. they are based in peru. as for souveniers there are tons everywhere.. the scarfs and hats and necklaces are always good to give to people

The cusco region has a lot sites to be seen. The temple of the lightning in Cusco is impresive and some other limestone shrines near by. On the other hand the sacred valley when going to Machupicchu is worthy to be seen. If you are explorer you can hike further to Vicabamba last inca remote stronhold, or if you are more traditionalist stay in Cusco and Machupicchu. but if you are more adventure you can try mountain biking, horse riding, rafting and jungle trips like Manu. Finally you can visit PPZ for live rock and jazz concerts just 2 block from the main square, it has good atmosphere, local people and nice drinks. http://www.southamericamyjourney.com In the folowing site you can find the right tour for you by answering a interesting test: http://www.southamericamyjourney.com/reservas/paginas/nextjourney.php

Good for you! Take in the ruins in Cuzco and go horseback riding. It's super cheap and totally worth it. I don't think an inexpensive multi-day hike exists. Make train reservations to Machu Picchu in advance and hike to up to the peak of Wanapicchu(sp). Save your money for the expensive jungle hike for your next trip to Machu Piccu. Once you see it, you will want to go back. As far as souvenirs go, pick up a hand-made chess set featuring the Incas vs the Spanish explorers. It may sound ridiculous, but I think it is one of the coolest gifts I've ever brought back. good luck

Hi im from lima peru. Internships? Oh so you don't wanna make any good money.... :D It's true, sorry. The BEST way to look for that is actaully if you KNOW where you want to work and you go to their website and look for "contact us" or "recruiting" etc. You better find a transnational or really big company. Also you are obviouly going to speak excellent spanish.

Hi Matt, every Sunday in El Comercio there is a huge section of job offerings and I have always spotted one or two hotel openings for various positions. MAybe you have already checked there but it's worth the try. I also recommend you go to the major hotels and leave them your resume. There's Marriot (Miraflores), Sonesta Posada del Inca (San Isidro), Sonesta El Olivar (San Isidro), Park Plaza (Miraflores), Los Delfines (San Isidro), Swisshotel (San Isidro), El Polo Apart hotel (in front of the american embassy) You can also try leaving your resume in the american embassy, in the consulate section as they may find a position for you in a company or an hotel. Anyhow, good luck!

A lot depends on what kind of visa you have. The best way is to have a contract from overseas. There are a lot of security companies in Peru for obvious reasons, unfortunately salaries in general are very low. You might be better of starting your own business. Good luck!
