Peru: Cuisine, Mountains, Incas, and an Easy Path to Citizenship

Why Peru Is the Culinary Capital of Latin America

🥘 The tastiest cuisine in all of Latin America. Tons of fruit, seafood, and finally, soups! For those craving something exotic — up in the mountains they cook alpaca and guinea pig. And the local coffee and chocolate are incredible.

Ancient Culture and the Magic of the Sacred Valley of the Incas

🗿 Ancient culture and traditions. Almost all of Latin America is a melting pot of European migrants who fled past wars and the local population. Beyond the Andes, Peru is different: sure, immigrants got altitude sickness at 4,500 meters too, but they simply never made it over into the Sacred Valley of the Incas. There, you can feel the energy and ancient history in every stone.

Peru's Nature — From the Ocean to Snow-Capped Peaks

⛰️ Extraordinary nature. Turquoise mountain lagoons, towering snow-capped peaks, archaeological digs in the valleys, Lake Titicaca, the ocean, the mysterious Nazca Lines in the desert — there's plenty to see!

Pisac — a Little Slice of Krasnaya Polyana Among the Incas

☕️ Missing the vibe of Krasnaya Polyana? Head to Pisac: mountains, a river, vegan specialty coffee shops, laptop-toting hipsters, yoga, and just 40 minutes to all of Cusco's infrastructure.

Easy Legal Status and Citizenship in a Couple of Years

🪪 And, of course, the easy legalization process typical of Latin America:

— 90 days visa-free with a Russian passport;

— A residence permit is easy to get;

— After 2 years of residency you can apply for citizenship. Of course, just like in Argentina, you shouldn't try to do this yourself — the process will get stuck for years;

— Newborns get citizenship as a gift.
