Latin America, where to start? The mojitos and caiprinhas, the dazzling footwork of the futebol players, the sensual and curvy women (or swishy/macho men) and the region’s decade-long abundance of centre-left governments. You will of course have your own preferences from this list of crude stereotypes.
There is no shortage of London-based organisations to cater for the gringo in search of any of the above, from the social justice-minded activities of the Latin American Bureau to the Banana Republic-attired trade and diplomacy receptions of Canning House in Belgravia.
But, what’s this? Are the two sets of gringos converging, like social justice and Venezuelan petrodollars?

Sí se puede!
