• Wear appropriate attire; long pants/jeans are suggested for mosquito protection, as shorts for men are uncommon.
• Public nudity or going topless at the beach is generally discouraged.
• Be prepared for nicknames or comments on appearance/weight, as this is common small talk and usually not intended to be offensive.
• Respect local faith traditions.
• If white, you may be nicknamed 'chele,' and other similar nicknames are generally considered non-offensive small talk.
• Use polite forms of address ('Don' or 'Doña') before names. When speaking, use the formal Spanish form ('usted') with strangers, elders, or superiors. Neat appearance is appreciated. Avoid overtly proselytizing or ridiculing local faith traditions.
