Map Latin America

Latin America is a region of contrasting lives. Way up in the Andes Mountains live indigenous people descended from some of the oldest civilizations in the world. Down below, cosmopolitan cityscapes are home to millions of urban workers. Together, these people create the Latin American flavors and rhythms loved all over the world.

Latin American culture may be rich, but the average person is not. The gap in wealth between the urban and rural indigenous populations is huge. In many rural mountain areas, there are no schools or health services. Poverty and hunger are widespread.
