- Culturally, Argentines are generally direct, expressive, and inquisitive; expect conversations to be passionate and may include personal questions. Greeting customs include cheek kissing (common in cities, especially between women and men) or handshakes (more common in rural areas/among men). While a flexible attitude toward time is common, punctuality is expected for business appointments. Sensitive topics to avoid include the Falkland Islands (Islas Malvinas), domestic politics, and comparing Argentina to neighboring countries.
