Peru is a gem in Latin America.

I have friends in Lima, the capital of Peru, and I have visited many times. Lima is beautiful, and despite security issues, it is very livable, and it's right next to the Ocean. If you like to surf it is a paradise, the food is incredible, and it rivals the top food capitals of the world including Paris, Barcelona, NYC, Mexico DF.

Venezuela was an amazing country before the Socialist takeover, and they seem they intend to be in power forever just like Cuba. A crypto friend of mine is based there, he is Venezuelan and gets paid in crypto so he is doing fine, but even he tells me he might just have to leave because of security concerns, blackouts and other political related issues.
