Except for one year of Covid. I have been coming to Colombia every year since 2013 for about 6 months. Most of my time in Medellin. In 2013 you very seldom even saw a foreigner. Now Their are many. I am now in my 70's and it works for me because Medellin has good health care. Good climate, friendly people, and quality of life is good for the price.

I just saw in another video posted just below tours that Peru' is expected to grow 4% this year. Maybe some countries are not good to live in but definetely worth investing in.

The one industry that Panama has been particularly useful for as a jurisdiction to incorporate and obtain banking for has often been adult entertainment websites. The privacy regime there has been useful for many entreprenuers who want to keep their name out of the public eye in association with that aspect of their business. Panama also has some favorable tax treaties in regards to royalty treatment for one of the major content platforms' home jurisdiction in regards to withholding taxes.

En Perú literal puedes pagar cero en impuestos con tu negocio. Depende mucho del negocio, pero los impuestos pueden ser cercanos a cero
