Peruvians in Uruguay

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Peruvian Uruguayans are mostly Peruvian-born persons living in Uruguay. There are as well some Uruguayan-born persons of Peruvian descent.

Peruvian immigrants started arriving in Uruguay around 1990, mainly by land.[1] There are some 2,000[2] to 3,000 Peruvians living and working in Uruguay, mostly in fisheries or as domestic servants.[1]

As of 2013, Peruvians represent one of the most dynamic immigration flows in Uruguay.[2] Yet most of them still live in poverty;[3] only 125 are registered in the Uruguayan social security.[4] Rather than fully assimilating into Uruguayan mainstream society, they tend to represent an example of multiculturalism.[1]
