Amenity migration demonstrates a conscious desire to migrate to rural areas, in most cases influenced by the attraction of natural or cultural comforts. The objective of this article is to examine research trends on amenity migration in rural areas, metropolitan rural areas, and intermediate cities in Latin America. The method consisted of a qualitative design framed within a state-of-the-art review. In the results, the different conceptual terms used to describe this phenomenon are detailed, the Latin American countries where these migratory flows occur are georeferenced, and the theoretical and methodological approaches of the studies are also expanded upon. The discussion highlights the gaps in current research and the challenges for studying these new human mobilities.

Keywords : 1. amenity migration; 2. nature; 3. migratory flows; 4. rural space; 5. Latin America..
