4 04 Travel etiquette How to fit in Social Conventions ns are known for being warm and friendly, with people often greeting each other with a kiss, or using the local abrazo (a cross between a hug and a handshake). Handshakes are reserved for greeting strangers. Personal space is much less of a concern, so don't be alarmed if people stand very close when holding a conversation. In, conservative casual wear is the norm. Men are expected to wear suits for business, and jackets and ties are usual for dining out and social functions. Dress on the coast is less formal but beachwear and shorts should not be worn away from the beach or pool. Smoking follows European habits and in most cases it is obvious where not to smoke. Some public buildings are also non-smoking areas. Health Health Food & Drink Mains water is not drinkable and should be sterilised, either through boiling or filtering. Alternatively, drink bottled water; it is available throughout the country. Milk is pasteurised and dairy products are safe for consumption. Local meat, poultry, seafood, fruit and vegetables are generally considered safe to eat. When it comes to eating out use common sense, stick to food that's been freshly cooked, and be wary of fruit or vegetable salads where the ingredients may have been washed in mains water. The same goes for ice used in cold drinks. Other Risks Vaccination against hepatitis B is advised for visitors on long-term stays who have regular contact with the local population. The risk of malaria in is in the main limited to those visiting the Amazon basin area.
