Sole employee of US company. Any issues working remotely in Peru on tourist visa? - Man Sitting in Front of Computer

Here's my situation:

  • created a company in the US (an LLC)
  • the only employee for the company
  • occasionally hire temporary contractors.
  • staying in Peru for 6 months on their extended tourist visa
  • will earn money through my company while in Peru
  • the money will go into the company's US bank account

What legal/visa/tax issues would I face?
