What cultural faux pas should I try to avoid making in Jose Ignacio?

"In Jose Ignacio, it's important to respect the local customs and traditions. Avoid discussing sensitive topics such as politics and religion, as these can lead to heated debates. It's also considered rude to interrupt someone while they're speaking, so always wait your turn in conversations. Uruguayans are known for their punctuality, so try not to be late for appointments or social gatherings. If you are invited to someone's home, it's customary to bring a small gift such as flowers or wine. In terms of dining etiquette, it's considered impolite to start eating before everyone has been served. Also, remember to keep your hands on the table (but not your elbows) when you're not eating. Uruguayans are generally very friendly and welcoming, but they also value their personal space. Avoid standing too close to someone or making excessive physical contact unless you know the person well. Finally, remember to dress appropriately. Uruguayans tend to dress up for social events, so avoid wearing casual or beach attire unless you're actually at the beach," commented one expat who made the move to Jose Ignacio, Uruguay.
