Peru 

Peru is the perfect choice for adventure lovers. For retirees, the cost of living is a big draw, given the fact that a couple can easily live on $1,500 a month, according to “International Living”. Some of the most popular expat destinations are Arequipa and Cusco, where a one-bedroom apartment to rent is around $200 a month, and a nice three-course meal for two costs somewhere between $10 and $12.

Also, public health care is affordable, even though expats here usually prefer having health insurance and using private health clinics. The country has an infinitely renewable retirement visa that’s called the rentista visa.
