Chile, Ecuador, Peru, Argentina, Uruguay, Paraguay, Bolivia, Panama, Costa Rica, and Nicaragua all have very moderate homicide rates, Chile's homicide rate is actually more comparable with Europe. So it's not all of Latin America that's dangerous, only a part of it. In Latin America the violence is also very regional so even within countries you have tons of variation. Your chances of getting killed in Coyoacan or Merida are a tiny fraction, maybe even 1/100, compared to somewhere like Tijuana or Ciudad Juarez
btw. Europeans were butchering each other by dozens of millions just two generations ago, in numbers never seen in Latin America.

These aren't the less "dangerous" countries, just the ones with the lowest homicide rates. Danger goes way beyond homicides.
