Wilson loops are one of the most important observables in gauge theories. The AdS/CFT correspondence relates the computation of Wilson loops to the study of minimal area surfaces in hyperbolic and AdS space. In this talk I am going to discuss an approach to study such minimal area surfaces emphasizing their integrability properties and leading to new solutions and methods of computation.
