Our customs - Ruth Egoavil

Dear Tai,

 

It wil be great to see you! Social customs in Perú are completely diferent from your country, for that reason I decided to write some tips that will be helpful for you…

 

First, we often give a handshake or a kiss on the cheek to greet someone, so don’t panic if someone gives you a kiss or a hug. I know that in your country it’s important to respect the personal space but here people tend to stand much closer and you may find it uncomfortable but it's because personal space is smaller in Perú and generally in Latin countries.

When we talk we usually make gestures with our face and we move our hands.

If you go to a party or meeting is customary to bring a gift for the host.

I have more tips for you and I’ll tell you when you arrive. See you soon, I hope you can enjoy your trip.
