15 true shots of what it means to live in Latin America

Who does not dream of traveling through the sultry Latin America, imagining paradise beaches with golden sand, fiery music and a carefree mood? Indeed, this is what we usually see in films and travel magazines. And yet, the reality of Latin American countries is not quite the same.

We selected the most impressive shots. They, in our opinion, reflect the main concept of this photo project better than others.

So, what is hidden in the depths of this sunny and incredibly attractive atmosphere? What will you see when you are on the other side of a delightful illusion?
