Hey there!
So what you have going for you is for sure that you are Peruvian (very rare applicant) and that you have a great GPA.
On the "negative" side as you have guessed, you are a bit on the older side, and you have some years working non-professionally (although actually I think that you can turn that to your advantage by making a fantastic story out of it). You might also want to look into some European programs: LBS, INSEAD, the Spanish schools which all have good placements in Latin America if that is interesting for you... as a lot of them are also 1 year programs...
I don't have enough info about the rest of your profile - esp. work experience (what you do, what your achievements are, how fast you have progressed) to say where exactly you can get in, but if you give me more info I'm sure we can advise you further.

Hi, thank you for your response.
For my application i'm working in a story of change and evolution. Actually, once I got the means to get a professional degree, my progress was really fast.
Here in Perú, the length of the bachelor programs is 5 years, but I put some extra effort and finished in 4 years and still got the highest GPA, no only of my class but also of all the classes that year.
When I was in my third year, I start working in the biggest Telecom company of Perú as a market research intern. I got a promotion to market rearch assistant one year before I finished my degree (they usually don't promote interns until they get their bachelor degrees, but did an exception for me).
One year before I was promoted to marketing analyst in the B2B department. By the way, my old boss had to hire a junior manager to fill my old position.
One year after that I get my actual position as a marketing coordinator (I think the equivalent position is marketing manager). I'm responsible for the ATL and BTL communication of the mobile department and have almost 20 indirect reports.
Hopefully I will get a promotion to a senior manager position before the admission deadlines.
I don't want an european as my first choices because they don't have the same impact in the peruvian marketplace. On the other hand, my wife is canadian and I want a MBA with good placement not only in Perú but also in Canada.
Thank you very much!
