Recommendation

Ann Marie Sabath, the Amy Vanderbilt of international etiquette, provides a concise, upbeat and authoritative guide to Latin American social and business etiquette. Her manual covers dos and don’ts and includes basic data about each country, including information on history, air travel, telephones, currency, holidays, language, religion, time zones and weather. Her compact volume presents an informative outline that will help you act appropriately at work and at play in 14 Latin American countries. getAbstract recommends this book to those who work with people from Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Guatemala, Mexico, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, Uruguay and Venezuela, and to those who travel to these countries on business. Have a good, safe trip, or as they say in Latin America, Vaya con Dios.

Take-Aways

  • Latin Americans are rarely punctual, but in some countries you may be expected to be on time.
  • Gift-giving rituals aren’t part of the Latin American culture.
  • Latin American business people place great importance on developing a personal relationship with you before doing business.
