English Teaching Jobs in Peru: Opportunities are plentiful in classrooms that cater to business professionals. Lima is the capital of Peru and a good spot to start your job search. Cuzco, a city that acts as a gateway to the famous ruins at Machu Picchu is another great spot to start your career. 70 percent of the city's population works in the tourism industry so there are often requests for role-playing opportunities that involve travel, hotel and sightseeing situations - and you thought only CIA employees got to assume other personalities! The low-cost of living will allow your money to go that much further if/when you decide to explore other areas of South America.
