I have been to Lima many times and one time I needed health care due to severe flu symptoms, and it was definitely not easy. I researched English speaking clinics near Miraflores, no one would see me, there were already a hundred people in line, no one spoke a word of English, and I was shoved off to three different clinics on a wild goose chase before a nurse would see me (and basically do nothing.) It might be different if you are established and understand the system better. But as a tourist, you do not want to get sick in Peru…. Period.

My advice is do not retire in Peru. See my 7 reasons not to live in Peru. I forgot to add the crime is very high there. And corruption is high. From the secretaries up to the Judges. They all accept and expect bribes. (Sobornos o coimas).

Living costs for very basic living for 2 adults, excluding housing, would be about 1000 US$ a month. Meaning you don't eat or drink out. It covers basically homemade simple food, electricity, water, internet. More comfortable, 1500 a month excluding rent. I currently (hopefully temporarily) pay 700 soles a month for a very basic house. Houses are built wall to wall, only opening is in the front wall...Expect to pay 500 US$ or more for a decent apartment/house, or several thousand in a better neighbourhood. Peru is very noisy in my opinion.I'm from a quiet peaceful country and the constant blasting of music at very high volume in the streets, shops, churches is driving me crazy. Avoid lower class areas, the noise is worse there. I'm currently staying (temporarily, I hope) in a lower class neighbourhood in a rented house. There are 2 some sort of evangelical , pentecostal or some such churches nearby. They have daily services. The noise is unbelievable. Peruvians also like to celebrate their birthdays...with balloons and all, even for adult birthday parties. Get a house in some better off neighbourhood, with a wall around it, like the moneyed Peruvians do. Traffic is very noisy in provincial towns because of the number of motorbikes/ 3-wheeled "motokars". Car alarms will be going off by themselves all through the night. I never hear car alarms in my country - nobody has them. Foreign TV programs are dubbed in spanish. I can't stand them, dubbing totally ruins a movie forme. You can have a very low cost helth insurance (SIS) for 15-20 US$ a month. It's free for people classified as living in extreme poverty. However, it's only worth it if you don't plan to get sick, though it covers basic funeral costs if I'm not mistaken. Public hospitals are underfunded. I have seen people go to a hospital only to be told they can't take x-rays because they've run out of x-ray plates...You should also go to a hospital prepared to go out yourself/send a relative to buy the medicines you need during your stay. It's common that the hospitals don't have medicines available. Private health insurance will cost hundreds of dollars a month and are AFAIK for a select network of hospitals. I have no idea whether they work better than the SIS. A common sight during the pandemic has been peruvians carting their own oxygen bottles because hospitals have run out.

You need to take down the "safe" part. After Venezuela released people from its prisons and sent them all over (same thing Fidel Castro did in the 1980s), the crime rate has skyrocketed. And since they were raised in a Communist society with no morals or human values, the Venezuelan criminals are more prone to violence. The police itself acknowledges they are facing a level of violence that is unprecedented.
