导读：寒冬腊月，去拉丁美洲寻找阳光吧！
The final month of the year marks the time when people in in the north start looking around for an escape to the sun. Fortunately， there are big parts of the world that have their best weather of the year at this time.
The places below are in Latin America， so depending on where you are starting from it might be a rather long flight to get there. Many of us can take two weeks or even more around this time of year， but that fact means that all of these places do get crowded and raise hotel prices for the weeks around Christmas and New Year’s Day. It’s best to book as far in advance as possible for both your flights and hotels， since so many people have the same idea and prices generally just keep going up as it gets closer.
The weather during December in Santiago is pretty much perfect， with warm days and nights cool enough so that anyone can sleep without needing air conditioning. This is part of high season in Santiago， although the first half of the month won’t be as crowded or expensive as the second half.
December is yet another fantastic month for weather in Brazil， although you can expect some short rain storms a couple times each week， usually only an hour or so each time. It’s also getting warm enough that you are going to want a hotel with air conditioning to get to sleep at night.
Surprising to some people， December can actually be a bit cool in Mexico City， especially at night. Its elevation keeps it cool all year， but at least the rainy season is totally over by December， so it’s an ideal month for a cheap cultural holiday， perhaps combined with a trip to one of Mexico’s many beach resorts.
Vocabulary
elevation n. 海拔高度
（Where do you want to go in December？）
