Peruvians in Chile (Spanish: Peruanos en Chile) consists of mainly of immigrants and expatriates from Peru as well as their locally born descendants. Both countries share the Spanish language; their historical origins are common (part of the Spanish Empire).
Illegal immigration
[edit | edit source]A significant portion of immigrants to Chile are Peruvian. Geographic proximity lowers travel costs and enables migrants to maintain family ties in Peru. A shared language also makes Chile a more accessible destination than more distant countries like the United States or Japan.

| United States | 31.5 |
| Spain | 16.0 |
| Argentina | 14.3 |
