About these cities
About Angol
Angol is a cheap, quiet base for anyone chasing FIRE numbers, with a cost of living index of 39/100 and a 1-bedroom city centre rent of $320/mo. The catch is that safety index of 50/100 and limited English proficiency mean you should not expect an easy soft landing. A retiree score of 67/100 and digital nomad score of 61/100 tell you this is a place for self-sufficient people, not hand-holders. If you want Mediterranean climate and a 3 km hop to LSQ without big-city prices, it works, but bring Spanish and low expectations for nightlife.
About Chile
Safety is a real concern here, with a 39.5 safety index. Retirees on fixed incomes should look past that given the low bar for entry: just $1,000/mo qualifies for the Rentista visa, and a 1BR outside the center runs $370.82/mo. A digital nomad visa exists, so remote workers face more friction than retirees.

About Tacna
Tacna is a cheap, safe desert city where a single adult can live on $920/mo, and rents outside the center collapse to $70/mo for a one-bedroom, which is absurdly low even by Peruvian standards. The catch is that local salaries average $465/mo, so you are living well above the local economy, and with very few expats, limited English, and only fair healthcare, this is not a soft landing. Treat Tacna as a quiet FIRE base or a border-town stopover, not a retirement or digital nomad hub, since 15 Mbps internet and a 50/100 nomad score will frustrate anyone who needs to work online.
About Peru
A 1BR in central Lima runs $521.77/mo, less than a parking spot in Manhattan, and the Rentista Visa requires $1,000/mo income to qualify. That math works for retirees on fixed Social Security checks. But the Safety Index sits at 32.9 so the savings come with real security tradeoffs. Worth it only if you vet neighborhoods hard and skip the flash.
