Which countries in Latin America offer the most vacation days per year?

When we start a new job, among the first questions we ask our employer is about the salary we are going to receive, benefits and the holiday season that corresponds to providing a service. These days of rest are used by many professionals to relax, put stress aside, spend time with family or friends, and recover energy after working days.
