How Peru works as a nomad base
The nomad score leans hardest on affordability (45%) because cost is the lever remote workers feel monthly, then climate comfort (30%) and safety (25%). In Peru, Cajamarca leads at 65/100 — cost 44, climate 97, safety 63; warmest-month highs around 13.7°C and coldest-month lows near 13.0°C give you a feel for the seasons. Ayacucho is the pure-budget play at cost 45/100. Two practical factors sit outside the score — connectivity and visa/tax rules — so shortlist by these numbers, then verify internet quality and the current remote-work visa terms for Peru before booking anything long-term.
