I have a good friend from Venezuala. Before the recent troubles, his family would fly to Miami once a year to go back-to-school shopping. The cost of clothes was so much lower that they just about broke even on the trip. Tickets were under $400 and the cost of some goods was much lower. I'm sure it's the same for upper-middle-class families all over Latin America.
