The digital nomad lifestyle has exploded since the early part of this decade. The ability to travel and work from anywhere in the world is an alluring proposition, and lots of people have decided to trade in the cubicles and fluorescent bulbs for beaches soaked in sunlight. As a result of this explosion of remote work, coliving and coworking spaces have popped up all over the world. Here are six of the best coworking spaces in Latin America!
