I have three domains.

http://abc.xyz.com.pe
http://abc.xyz.com.pr
http://abc.xyz.com.mx

I have to use SSL in those domains, Is there any way to use the same certificate in all of them.

Not as easily as you would like. With the way the certificate
infrastructure is currently set up(*), you will basically have to have at
least two of these sites redirect to a site where you have your certificate
installed. How much money would it cost to get a certificate for each site,
and how much time would it cost to implement the redirection you would need?
It is probably cheaper in the long run just to afford the extra
certificates.

Alun.

(*) This is because no trusted CA is going to issue a certificate for an IP
address, or with multiple names - this may seem irritating, but it is
actually a good thing (would you want to get a new IP address from your ISP
that _might_ allow someone else to pretend to be you due to a previously
issued certificate?). Wild-card certificates are sometimes issued, but they
would be of the form "*.example.com", which won't help in your case - there
is no way to support wildcards anywhere other than the start of a
certificate's name.<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ -->
