My friend H who was born in Lima, Peru and is now a naturalized US citizen would joke to me about Peru’s presidents.“Oh yes we used to give a president 4 or 5 years to thieve and then we would toss him in prison.

He is 68 and will be returning to Lima. The cost of living is much less there and medical care much cheaper.Like in any huge city city there are parts where it is not worth you life going into. But he will live in an upscale neighborhood. It’s either Barranco or Miraflores. And he has a large number of family there. I wish he well.
The last 6 presidents of Peru.
