The objective of this work is to analyze trade relations in Latin America in the years 1995 and 2015 using the approach of complex networks, with data from the first five imports and exports partners from 17 countries in the region. The study of the properties of the network is complemented by the analysis of important historical facts and the composition of import and export baskets. The results show the region's tendency to trade with large economies in Asia and North America, where it exports mainly primary goods and from which technology, industrial and capital goods are imported.
