Peruvian immigrant Jose Bermudez, among the last in his family to emigrate from his country, drinks a beer at the Plaza de Armas square in Santiago during a break from his job at a local packaging plant, December 23, 2004.

Of the nearly 32,000 temporary residence visas granted by the Chilean government in 2004, almost half went to Peruvians. Picture taken December 23, 2004.
