👋 Greetings

A single kiss on the right cheek is standard. Handshakes in business. Chileans are more reserved than other South Americans initially.

Lunch is the main meal (2-3pm). Once (afternoon tea) around 5-6pm is important. Wine is excellent and affordable.

👔 Dress Code

Chileans dress conservatively and neatly. Smart casual is appropriate for most situations.

🚫 Things to Avoid

  • Discussing Pinochet or political history casually
