- Flexibility is common with social timings, but punctuality is expected for formal business. Maintain a calm demeanor, as visible impatience is discouraged. Show respect and deference to elders and authorities; using formal titles is customary. Greeting passersby with a simple phrase is appreciated. When referring to indigenous people, use terms like 'campesino' or 'indígena' instead of 'indio'.
