Latin America: Hottest Women in the World?

Latin America is, in part, famous for stunning women such as J Lo (Puerta Rican parents), Shakira (Colombia), Gisele (Brazil) and Salma Hayek (Mexico). Venezuela has won more Miss World competitions than any other country, and with good reason. The local men, on the other hand, are often smarmy, macho and pretty unattractive. As a male traveller, one is therefore at a distinct advantage. But where are the hottest girls in Latin America?

The following is on the whole based upon personal (pretty extensive) experience of travelling and living in various Latin American countries. Sadly I haven’t been absolutely everywhere, but I’m working on that.

Central America, on the whole, is sorely dissapointing, with the exception of Mexico (overall 8/10). Guatemala’s girls come in last with a score of 2, closely followed by Belize at 3. Costa Rica and Panama receive 5, while Cuba receives a mark of 6. The other central American countries I haven’t been to so I won’t pass comment. Mexico’s girls top Central American in terms of the hottest women, but the country as a whole is highly variable in terms of the X factor. Remarkably, Chetumal (the border town with Belize) would top my list.

South America sees a distinct improvement is standards of female attractiveness. Cross the Darien Gap and it all change. Venezuela comes in at 9 out of 10 understandably.

Ecuador sees wide variety, with coastal areas such as Guayaquil seeing the most beautiful, though Quito does have a few stunners. Ecuador’s women get 7 out of 10. Peru’s girls receive 5 out of ten, while Bolivia receives a dissapointing 3. Chile is unknown to me. Argentina receives a 7 out of 10, though the women often exhibit more European, and less Latin, physical characteristics. Antarctica has only penguins and scientists so doesn’t count. Brazil sees huge variety from 0 to 10 - Ipanema beach in Rio would come in at 9 out of 10, but the country as a whole receives 7 out of 10.

I’ve missed one important country out, and that country receives a 10 out of 10. It’s not just because my girlfriend is from that country. Their people on the whole are the friendliest in Latin America. It’s not all about looks after all - attitude counts as well. I think it’s due to a combination of factors including the genes (Spanish / African / Indigenous / Pirate mix), plus the fact the women in this country really care for themselves. Many say that the decades long influence the drugs barons used to hold (NB. used to) over society has spawned a culture where looks really do matter, and plastic surgery is very common. Yes, the country with the hottest women in Latin America is Colombia. And the hottest girls are found in Medellin, as well as the breast enhancement capital of the world, Cali.

  1. Venezuela all the way!!! Most beauty pageants won worldwide and the people are super friendly, funny, happy, humble and know how to have a good time!!!

  2. Actually, The rank is Venezuela, Colombia(Medellin is best city), then Brazil. The rest of the countries are a few steps down.

  3. Puerto Rico has more miss Universe pageants I think!

  4. Brazil has the most beautiful women on this planet! Honest and true. I have been north and south in Brazil. Physically and attitude, you will not find a more worthy female…I know, I married one!

    Latin women are average. There is NO WAY they compare to the beautiful babes in the United States of America. Who do all the latino women try to look like ?? The Americans.

  7. Spanissh women rock. Not Spanish women from Latin America, Spanish women from Spain. They top all.

  8. as for looking like a white girl… i think not… they are beautiful but our morals are so much better as latinas… we are family orientated on top of being beautiful and exotic

  9. Latin American women are the best of the world, especially Colombian women. How do I know? I went there this summer. American women are the way they are. There are a few good ones but most of them are not the kind of woman most men dream or want to be with. The special dream girls exist in Colombia, Dominican Republic, or any other Latin American countries. That is a fact. If you are interested in seeking a Colombian lady, go on to latinlovlies.com or ilovelatins.com.

  10. u forgot paraguay

  11. actually people from america and europe go to latin america spetially venezuela to get plastic surgeries cos they are much cheaper AND BETTER than in america so… who do all american woman try to look to ? Latins !!!

  12. Colombia, Venezuela, Argentina and Brasil…
    that’s my pick

  13. Let’s face it many American women are beautiful for sure but the attitude that goes along with it in most cases for me is not worth it. In addition, American women in many cases are very critical of men but aren’t willing to acknowledge their own issues. Women in America over 40 are the best because they know a good man when the see one and have less pretense and no time for BS. That’s fine if you aren’t interested in having a family but if you are the maturity level of the 25 – 35 US gal leaves much to be desired.

    In Latin America you can find a beautiful woman that is intelligent, fun, will treat you right and will also make a great mother and wife if you treat them respectfully. To find that here in America is not impossible but is becoming increasingly difficult.

    My picks are Brasil, Venezuela, Argentina and Peru I did not include Colombia as I have yet to go there.

  14. I don’t know where Mr. Oscar Bennwadden has been in Latin America but he surely has not been to Brasil. Take a look at where today’s Supermodels are coming from many are coming from Brasil. Women in Brasil don’t need to look like American women because post WWII immigration has many Italian, German and Spanish decedents in the South of Brasil (e.g. Giselle). One stroll at a beach in Rio or Salvador makes it plain that no comparison exists in the US.

    Plus we are not talking just beauty we are talking personality as well. Where can you find many women with model looks who are also pleasant and accommodating? In LA or NYC? Either you’ve never dated one or you are dreaming.

  15. jajjaja we no try look like american o no… uno try get sunburn to get our skin mein…
