The objective of the study was to identify the presence of the post-truth phenomenon in 26 countries in Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC). The methodological aspects correspond to a netnographic perspective. Qualitative and quantitative analysis techniques were used. A search and analysis of scientific publications in databases and information from Transparency International, the World Bank and the Observatory of Infodemics COVID-19 was carried out. The results made it possible to determine that post-truth is a widely present and relevant phenomenon in LAC, disseminated through the various media, but with relevant importance of social networks. In LAC, vulnerability to agnogenesis correlated with the high perception of corruption by the population. Further study of the phenomenon is required with multidisciplinary approaches, considering the diversity of contexts in the region. En la actualidad, la ignorancia, aunque útil para aspirar a la verdad, se ha convertido en un espacio vacío, donde las verdades existentes son modificadas a través de las noticias falsas o posverdad, estrategia de la agnogénesis. El objetivo de este estudio fue identificar la presencia del fenómeno de la posverdad en 26 países de América Latina y el Caribe (ALC). Los aspectos metodológicos corresponden a una perspectiva netnográfica. Se utilizaron técnicas de análisis cualitativo y cuantitativo. Se realizó una búsqueda y análisis de publicaciones científicas en de bases de datos e información de los organismos Transparencia Internacional, Banco Mundial y Observatorio de Infodemia COVID-19. Los resultados permitieron determinar que la posverdad es un fenómeno ampliamente presente y relevante en ALC, difundida a través de los diversos medios de comunicación, pero con importancia relevante de las redes sociales. En ALC, la vulnerabilidad a la agnogénesis se correlacionó con la alta percepción de la corrupción por parte de la población. Se requiere profundizar en el estudio del fenómeno con enfoques multidisciplinarios, considerando la diversidad de contextos en la región.
