What factor most heavily influences the differing climates of Latin America?
Altitude and latitude (proximity to the Equator). For example, Mexico City in Mexico has the same latitude as Hawaii, but has an altitude of 2,420 meters (7,940 feet) above sea level. So, while Hawaii has a mean temperature of 30 °C (80 °F), Mexico City has a mean temperature of just 14 °C (57 °F).

Is it possible for two people to be at the same exact latitude and longitude at the same time?
No. Solar Noon is dependent on longitude. So if two places experience solar noon (also called Local Apparent Noon) at the same time, they are at the same longitude. If "they" also have the same latitude, then it's only one place. So two different places at the same latitude cannot have the same longitude, so they won't have LAN at the same time.
