"It is important to be mindful of cultural norms when visiting Mendoza. It is considered rude to be late for appointments or social engagements, so it is important to be punctual. It is also important to dress modestly and conservatively, especially when visiting religious sites. It is also important to be respectful of local customs and traditions, and to avoid making negative comments about the country or its people. Additionally, it is important to be aware of the local language and to avoid speaking English in public, as this can be seen as disrespectful," wrote a member who made the move to Mendoza, Argentina.
