Foreign Statistical Sources

Use Google's site-specific search capabilities to find statistical agencies within Latin American countries. You will need to find the top-level domain of the country first. I recommend using the Wikipedia site here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Country_code_top-level_domain. Here are some example searches:

site:pe statistics Peru

site:gob.pe statistics Peru government entities

site:br statistics Brazil

site:gov.pr statistics Brazil government entities
