This chapter evolved from more extensive research into the concept of leisure in Latin America. Its aim is to carry out a conceptual discussion of leisure in this context. With this in mind, the understandings of 25 professors, professionals, and students linked to five master’s degrees in leisure/free time/recreation, undertaken in four Latin American countries (Brazil, Costa Rica, Ecuador, and Mexico), were canvased. The elements employed by the authors studied and by the interviewees of the research to conceptualize leisure in Mexico, in Costa Rica, in Ecuador, and in Brazil were variable and distinct. The theoretical bases and authors used to ground the comprehensions of leisure in each country were also different, but it was possible to observe points of contact.
