In the 19th and 20th Centuries, the waves of Greek migration to Latin America numbered in the thousands. However, this is not the case anymore.


Despite the hurdles of assimilation, the Greek diaspora in Latin America tries to stay strong. In this episode we explore the influence of the Greek diaspora in Chile and Argentina.

Why have Greeks decided to migrate in Chile? And who was the Greek magnate that built his empire in Argentina?
