If a company is hiring someone/a company in LATAM, they'll expect to pay LATAM level wages, which are considerably lower than $80k USD. The numbers I'm aware of, put the highest paid employees in LATAM at around half your expectations (of course, it's very country dependent). Entering a foreign country with the intention of self-employment usually requires a work-visa. You'll need to sort that out. Opening a company in that country will likely require proof that you are authorized to be self-employed. Even if you open the company in Europe, but do the work in LATAM will likely pose tax obligations from the country in LATAM as you'll be (likely) residing there. I think that's the biggest hurdle you'll have to sort out, and what I'd focus on first. I expect it to be difficult, but could be worth it! Good luck!
