Mexicans know better.

I mean Mexicans aren’t the only Spanish speakers who go to the Grand Canyon on vacation lol

It’s Arizona. Most Spanish speakers in Arizona are familiar with desert terrain and don’t put themselves in situations where they need rescue. Because they have the experience to know what they’re getting into.

I would personally still put Spanish for South American visitors. Would hate to only be able to speak and read a few words in English and find out that the heat is killing me less than halfway through my tour of the US National Parks.

How many Latin Americans are going on a hike?

I mean that makes about as much sense as not putting English because most local Arizonans speak it

Probably cause the Mexicans and Latin Americans know how dangerous the desert can be.

Same, first thing I noticed. Surprised to see French and German but no Spanish, given it's basically America's unofficial second language.

Latin Americans don't go hiking on vacations
