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.
