This article analyzes initiatives of reception and hospitality in Latin America, specifically in Andean countries such as Venezuela, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Chile, and Bolivia during the 21st century. Drawing on the experience of sanctuary cities in the global North, the study examines local and national initiatives of hospitality and solidarity towards migrant or displaced populations in these countries. The methodology included a review of ten years of scientific literature using various search engines and databases. The findings indicate that, in general, these initiatives arise through two main pathways: the first being from international organizations to countries and cities, “top-down”, and the second being from local social organizations, “bottom-up”. The former depends on political will, while the latter often consists of fragmented and temporary actions, making information availability challenging.
