A subreddit dedicated to Latin America and the Caribbean. From Mexico to the DR to Chile, we're protesting against Reddit's API changes together with +3000 subreddits.
A new subreddit dedicated to Latin America and the Caribbean. From Mexico to Brazil to Argentina and in between, we've got your questions covered!
Questions can be related (but not limited!) to Latin American culture, politics, society, language, etc.
Be kind and polite - do not personally attack or harass fellow users.
All questions should be in English. As the region is diverse and many languages are spoken, English is the preferred language for this subreddit. Feel free to make references to subjects in other languages (Spanish, Portuguese, French) but your post should be able to be understood by an English speaker. The same applies for top-level comments.
No low effort questions. Do not post questions that are in the FAQ, or can be answered with a quick Google Search.
No agenda pushing. Try to remain as impartial as possible when wording your posts, do not ask leading questions, do not answer your own question in the post.
Do not personally attack, harass, intimidate or target other users. Be respectful and kind.
Do not ask questions that have already been posted in the last seven days - doing such results in the post being taken down as a repetitive question.
Keep comments relevant and on-topic.
Petitions, surveys, any form of engaging our users outside of Reddit should be cleared with the mods first.
No discrimination, be it on the basis of gender, race, ethnicity, nationality, religion, etc.

I'm hoping to solo re-visit Salta, I visited Argentina last December and had a blast with the cost of living. I was living like a king. but I understand that the Blue Dollar rate has stabilized now. With the continued rate of inflation and weaker dollar against pesos, I'd assume things are 50% more expensive now.
Is it actually the case? then I'd have to turn to Colombia or somewhere else with cheaper cost of living.
Like for example, a lot of people joke about strict/bossy mothers among Hispanic/Latin American communities, especially in the United States. It is even referenced in American media and pop culture. How true is this?
If you want to know what I’m talking about, watch these videos as an example of this being referenced in American media/pop culture.

My background is Mexican and one of my go-to quick meals is hot dogs, but instead of buns, I use tortillas. I also add salsa, guac, and tostadas to instant ramen! So good!
Would someone struggle on this yearly income in Uruguay? How much is rent in Montevideo or surrounding area and how much living space do you get for your money? Is it expensive?
What do u think about it?
I have been a huge fan of hers since her second album Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded (2012). I notice many of her fan base is from the USA and UK but did see on a Spotify most listened to by country that Brazil has some barbz.
In Brazil we have acerola, buriti, Dourado (fish), Guaraná and açaí
probably a stereotypical question but i'm half chilean and my chilean dad keeps saying that chile has the spiciest food in latam. i've obviously had chilean food before but i've never actually thought it was that spicy? might be because my abuela doesn't like spicy food but idk. anyway how spicy is your country's food and if youre chilean do you think that chilean food is particularly spicy or is my dad just weird
Here in USA is not out the norm to date or have long distance relationships with people from other states .. how about in Latin America ? Have you guys ever dated someone from another LATAM country ? If so How was that experience ?
I ask due to the fact that chinese cars are having a market penetration in the region that is skyrocketing
Are latinos less brand aware?
Also why big countries with large industries like Mexico or Brazil have not created a national or atbleast regionwide car brand?
I have the feelign that you guys kinda despise your own products, could this be the answer? I mean latinos always will critize and prefer foreing brands (even for chocolate or coffee) than local ones.
Ofc it is not generalizing but its what I felt at least in older generations, young people tend to be less brand aware yet despise latinamerican internal industrial products
What is the context of this? On paper it sounds good. But if he’s gutted a whole bunch of government services to do it….that’d be less impressive
Thoughts?
I'm from the United States and I am really motivated to move to Latin America. What do you think is the best country for estadounidenses? And why?
I speak Spanish with my coworkers and clients every day (but I am definitely not fluent yet.) I am not worried about people speaking English in general because when I've been immersed in Spanish speaking countries I get along just fine.
Gracias :)
Where are some places you've been that has these? Where are some places I can move to to live or get citizenship where I can be happy that has:
Current place is filled with problems and rude and unkind people who don't care about others
Brazil has Guaraná Antarctica. Some regions have their own local popular brands, like Marajá here in the Mato Grosso state. I'm curious to know about other countries and regions!
My apologies if this is the wrong sub. Idk where to post.
Estoy buscando a un WOW guild q hable español. Currently playing SOD on wild growth server but I wouldn’t mind migrating. Many thanks
I want to say. If football has more money it can badly affect on it global popularity and popularity of football will be downgrade. How do you think? it can be chance for basketball to become the most popular sport in the world? I'm so worrying 😟 😧
I’m American of Guatemalan ancestry. My height is 5’9 which is tall for my culture.
However, here in the USA I see Guatemalans born here and even asian people who are 5’8 and taller. This was not the norm in the last generation it was always people of about 5’7 max for males.
Here in USA a 5’3 woman will call a 5’9 male short and not date him for height. It is mostly white women but it is transferring to american “ethnic women” who end up preferring taller partners regardless of race but imo lean to white american males.
It is the same dor business. A short guy is looked as lesser. An avg guy at 5’9 is okay. A tall male can walk in and be considered more competent due to tallness

I'm trying to better understand how the Mercado Libre system works with product files and listing products.

Have you ever heard of them? If so, do you have an opinion? Are they known in your country?
Given Puerto Rico’s proximity to Caribbean islands like Haiti and DR, how common is for people to go to PR to have kids that will get US citizenship?
Does the capital city dominates all over everything or not? Here in mexico we are a federal state, althrough were still kinda centralized in my opinion, there are important cities like Guadalajara and Monterrey and other smaller but still relatively powerful cities all over the country
Feel free to share more scenarios of what would happen. I don't know, but I think the Brazilians or Chileans would be the first sacrificed due to communication issues... I also wonder, who would you not eat and why?
When Hollywood or Netflix features countries like Mexico, they commonly show places in it with a “Mexico filter”. Or while in Brazil, it’s common to use the statue as well as favelas or the Amazon. If you were given a chance, what part of your country (whether physical, traditional, or cultural) would you rather showcase?
Hello to those of you who are from Mexico or are of Mexican heritage!
For the past 7+ years, my husband and I have co-authored what we like to call a "moderately successful" travel blog. We write about various aspects of travel, from hotels/hotel points to airlines/frequent flyer miles to rental cars to general interest "travel" topics.
Delta Air Lines' frequent flyer program is called SkyMiles. However as Delta has decreased the value of SkyMiles over time, in the frequent flyer world they've sometimes been given the nickname of "SkyPesos." Obviously, this is a dig at the lower value of pesos in Mexico and other countries that use pesos as their primary form of currency.
So I'd like to ask you, what do you think of the term "SkyPesos?" Do you think it's racist?
Finally - would it be okay if we include your comment as a quote in a blog post I'm working on the term "SkyPesos"?
Thanks so much!
