Has nothing to do with Latins, but the Lebanese are sort of Arab, though they will never admit it.

Latino Stars explore Israel
http://www.timesofisrael.com/latino-stars-explore-israel-stun-dominican-fans/
A group of tourists visiting from the Dominican Republic got the shock of their lives Sunday when they bumped into two of Latin media’s most iconic faces while walking in the Ein Kerem village in Jerusalem. The tourists screamed in disbelief as famed Univision TV hosts, Don Francisco and Raul De Molina, posed for pictures with them.
…
Francisco also happens to be Jewish; he changed his name from the Jewish-sounding Mario Kreutzberger when he started doing stand-up comedy acts in Miami more than 50 years ago.

Arabic Roots – Chile
Arab Roots
The show Arab Roots has a neat website, http://www.raicesarabes.cl/
Arab Roots (from 2012)
The host of the show, Kiko Saide, Raíces Árabes (Arab Roots) has been doing a variation of the show since 1999, first starting on radio, then moving to TV. It looks to be sort of a blend between a variety show and an infomercial for the Nur Academy of Dance. However, it also has community news as well.
It has different guests each week; and it is broadcast to over half of Chile.
For this episode, the young cohost/dancer’s real name is Taryn Palavicino Coopman, is a director/reporter for NUR News media, and an accomplished dancer who operates a dance academy out of a high income suburb of Santiago, Chile. With a name like Taryn Palavicino Coopman, and given her fair complexion, she is a certainly NOT pure Arabic in ancestry. (My Spanish is not good enough to make out the whole conversation).
Arabic culture is not only mainstream. It is upscale in Chile.
The TV show is not just broadcast in Santiago but throughout Chile.

This is not a minor broadcast. More than half of Chile could get this show.
Finally, for those of you who speak Spanish better than me – and that is probaby most of you – this is one of their programs where they interviewed the Mayor of Recoleta, a very upscale community in Chile with a large Arab population in the Barrio Patronato

Salta is an old pioneer city in the interior of Argentina, which has a considerable Italian and Arab demographic, as well as Native Indian and old line Spanish stocks.
Salta would be truly tropical, however it is in the foothills of the Andes, so one or two nights per year, it can dip below freezing. However, it is subtropical and has palm trees.
The climate is dry and warm. It is a resort city.
