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

"It is important to be respectful of Bolivian culture and customs when visiting the country. It is considered rude to show up late to social gatherings, so it is important to arrive on time. It is also important to dress modestly, as revealing clothing is considered inappropriate. It is also important to be aware of the local customs and traditions, and to avoid making jokes or comments that could be seen as offensive. Additionally, it is important to be respectful of religious beliefs and to avoid discussing politics in public. Finally, it is important to be aware of the local language and to avoid speaking English in public, as this can be seen as disrespectful," remarked another expat who made the move to Bolivia.

"Not really, due to my knowledge of the language and my research before travelling," explained one expat living in Santa Cruz de la Sierra, Bolivia.
