Abstract
The Peruvian SETI group effort in the study of extraterrestrial intelligence is reported. This effort is twofold, namely the optical SETI Observatory and the theoretical implications for the life of the recent discovery of earth-like exoplanets. The work focuses on the development of astrobiology, especially in the study of the stellar and galactic habitable zone and dynamics of the universe appropriate for the development of life, and as part of these activities, in 2017 we organized the astrobiology school. As part of IAA SETI, our main objective is to present a project to the Peruvian funding scientific institution (CONCYTEC) for the acquisition of a medium-sized optical telescope to be part of a global network of modest-sized Optical SETI observatories. Furthermore, we will continue with our theoretical investigation in astrobiology, focusing not only on extension of the galactic habitable zone but specially, on the importance of the recent discovered earth like exoplanets.
