Data center map

Latin America's data centers, with the power and policy signals behind them.

From hyperscale campuses to containerized edge sites, each with a dated 2026 public source. Turn on the power and policy layers to see what shapes where capacity gets built.

Country snapshots

BR · BRASIL

The region's anchor market

  • 218 listed data centers, about 40% of the Latin American total.
  • São Paulo is the largest market: 536.7 MW of wholesale inventory with 9.6% vacancy (Q1 2026).
  • Fortaleza has 227 MW under construction, mostly pre-leased.
  • REDATA, a special tax regime for data centers, was signed into law on September 15, 2026.

MX · MÉXICO

Querétaro and the power question

  • Querétaro holds 72–79% of Mexico's data center capacity. Its inventory reached 298.2 MW, up 450.2% in a year, the fastest growth in Latin America (CBRE).
  • Vacancy rose to 10.6% as new hyperscale supply outpaced absorption.
  • Since 2021, at least 12 major projects have committed about US$15 billion to Querétaro. Guanajuato and Nuevo León are drawing interest, but operators expect Querétaro to remain the anchor.

CL · CHILE

Santiago's hyperscale corridor

  • 36 operating data centers with about 255 MW installed, and 34 more developments planned.
  • Santiago: 165.8 MW of inventory and just 3.3% vacancy, the tightest of the big four markets.
  • ODATA leads with ~31% of national capacity, followed by Ascenty (16.5%) and Google Cloud (11.8%).

CO · COLOMBIA

Bogotá's emerging pipeline

  • 39 listed data centers; about 98% of activity is in Bogotá and Cundinamarca.
  • Bogotá: 58 MW operational, 56 MW under construction and 300 MW planned (H1 2026).
  • ODATA's 120 MW BG03 in Tenjo is set to become the country's largest.

Research firms define markets and capacity differently (inventory, IT load, installed power, pipeline), so figures from different sources are not directly comparable.

Market size

About 550 listed data centers across Latin America

Data Center Map's directory, kept up to date mainly by operators, lists 546 colocation, cloud and connectivity facilities in 19 Latin American countries. Five countries hold about 80% of them, and Brazil alone about 40%.

A directory counts listings. Our map follows the projects that move the market: capacity, status, pipeline and AI workload, plus the power and policy signals behind them, each from a dated 2026 source. It does not list every facility. Operators can add theirs through the contact page.

How we categorize

Eight facility types, plus an AI workload tag.

Hyperscale campus

Multi-building campuses, typically 30 MW+ of IT load, built for or by cloud providers.

Cloud region / self-build

Facilities built and operated by a cloud provider for its own region.

Wholesale colocation

Halls or suites leased in MW blocks to large tenants.

Retail colocation / IX

Rack and cage colocation with carrier-neutral interconnection and exchange points.

Telco

Facilities built or run by telecom and cable operators, for their own networks and for customers.

Enterprise / government

Facilities owned by banks, governments or corporates for their own use.

Edge

Smaller facilities near users in secondary cities, often under 5 MW.

Modular / containerized

Prefabricated or containerized deployments, often for edge, mining, or temporary capacity.

AI workload tag

Added only when the facility's source says so. Most AI announcements in the region don't yet say whether a site is for training or inference.

AI training / AI factory

Built for training large models; GPU clusters at very high rack density. "AI factory" is the vendor term for the same kind of site.

AI inference

Built to serve AI models to users, usually closer to them and at lower density than training.

AI, workload not disclosed

Described by its source as an AI data center, without saying whether for training or inference.

About our data

What the map includes, and what it doesn't

We would rather show fewer entries we can source than more we can't. Here is how the map is built and how complete each field is today.

What we include

Data centers and announced projects whose source names an operator and a location: hyperscale, cloud, colocation, telco, enterprise, edge and modular sites. There is no minimum size. Power and policy signals sit on separate map layers.

Four stages

Planned (announced by a named operator), under construction, operational, and operational and expanding. A project moves stage only when a new 2026 source says so.

How we count

One entry per facility or campus, as the source describes it. A multi-building campus is one entry unless the operator reports its buildings separately. Capacity is IT load in MW where disclosed.

Dated sources

Every entry cites the publisher and date of a source published in 2026. Entries without one are not shown.

Reviews and corrections

We review the map regularly and check every operator submission against a public source before publishing it.

Known limits

The map is not a complete list of facilities. Many operators don't disclose capacity, map locations are approximate at city level, and the AI tag appears only when the source says so.

How complete the data is

Counted live from the map data. Last reviewed:
