- Cheek kissing is common in major cities. When in doubt, handshaking is acceptable. While communication can be direct and passionate, this is rarely meant as offense. Be mindful of sensitive topics, such as the Falkland Islands (Islas Malvinas) or domestic politics, and avoid making comparative remarks about neighboring countries.
