From Patagonia to Buenos Aires to Mexico's silver-filled hills, travel the road to the future of Latin America
Spanish and Portuguese language and customs united diverse cultures from Mexico to Argentina into today’s Latin America. Twenty-odd nations were born of a wide mix of glorious indigenous civilizations (Aztecan, Incan, Mayan), immigrants (Africans, Asians, Europeans), and landscapes (deserts, forests, coastlines, mountains). In modern times, the nations have emerged from indigenous traditions, European influences, and authoritarian regimes to build new identities. Stories of Latin America facing the challenges of development, democratization, trade, debt, and the environment fill newspapers. Live these stories first-hand on a CIEE program.
