It offers many opportunities, but I think that in highlands, at least in Bolivia, the natives want their land for themselves and its resources for themselves, even if it means the said resources stay unexplored. So some caution may be a good advice.

Thanks.
Being a resident of what yo...Nice article. Thanks.<br /><br />Being a resident of what you called, nearly correctly, "Perú's second largest city", I think it only fair to point out that there is a slightly larger "Perú's second largest city" way down south, though reputedly many Peruvians consider Arequipeños something of a bunch of stuck up would be secessionists. But as a recent addition to the population here I could hardly comment either way.<br /><br />What may be of interest to any others thinking of moving to the Andes is doing some in depth legwork on the social undercurrents here.<br /><br />I took my nick from the protagonist, the bull Misitu, in Jose Maria Arguedas' novel Yawar [Blood] Fiesta, which describes the unresolved conflicts of rural Andean society around the planning and execution of a Bullfight.<br /><br />Misitu is the native pronunciation of the word Misti, the white capped volcano sitting behind Arequipa and by implication used to describe the white interlopers, their business, attitudes, and despoliations and dispossessions (all topics examined by the novel).<br /><br />The culmination of the Fiesta is the death of Misitu from a lit stick of dynamite hurled at his chest by the villager he has just fatally gored in the groin.<br /><br />The Andes comprise wonderful countrysides and delightful caring people but it is only fair to point out that history has left its mark.
