Following the PRISMA model, an exploratory systematic review of scientific investigations identified in five databases and published between 2000 and 2019 is presented. A total of 362 publications were obtained, of which fifteen were included in the final analysis of this review, highlighting the predominance of the quantitative approach, non-experimental studies, and the correlation between happiness and optimism. The results are discussed, emphasizing the methodological need for experimental studies, probabilistic samples that include more men, as well as the relevance of reporting ethical guidelines in each research. Regarding the general findings, the contribution of social relationships and optimism in the perception of happiness stands out, which would explain the high levels of happiness in Latin American university students. The need for more research in the region that contribute to strengthening the theoretical and empirical literature on the subject was pointed out. Se analizan las principales características metodológicas de la evidencia científica existente sobre la felicidad en estudiantes universitarios de Latinoamérica; así como los principales hallazgos y factores asociados a este constructo. A partir del modelo PRISMA, se presenta una revisión sistemática exploratoria de investigaciones científicas identificadas en cinco bases de datos y publicadas entre los años 2000 y 2019. Se obtuvieron 362 publicaciones, de las cuales, quince forman parte del análisis final de esta revisión, destacando la predominancia del enfoque cuantitativo, estudios no experimentales y la correlación entre la felicidad y el optimismo. Se discuten los resultados obtenidos enfatizando la necesidad de estudios experimentales, muestras probabilísticas que incluyan más varones, así como la pertinencia de seguir y reportar lineamientos éticos en las investigaciones. En cuanto a los hallazgos generales, sobresale la contribución de las relaciones sociales y el optimismo en la percepción de felicidad, lo que explicaría los altos niveles de ésta en los estudiantes universitarios latinoamericanos. Se concluye la necesidad de más estudios en la región que contribuyan al fortalecimiento del corpus teórico y empírico sobre la materia.
