Latin America and Caribbean in Review is a monthly gallery featuring some of the top photojournalism made by AP staff photographers and freelancers. The month of June brought a devastating volcanic eruption to Guatemala, historic election campaigns in Mexico and Colombia, continued anti-government protests in Nicaragua and gatherings in plazas across the region to watch the start of the World Cup soccer tournament.

Edited by photo editors Leslie Mazoch and Tomas Stargardter, and multimedia producer Dario Lopez-Mills, from The Associated Press headquarters for Latin America and Caribbean located in Mexico City.
