TRADITIONS When invited to a dinner part it is
a custom that men should dress up in a
suit and tie, and women in dresses. Guests should arrive 30 - 45 minutes lately. Never give a knife or scissors as a gift in Argentina because this means you want to severe the relationship. When meeting someone you must always greet the oldest member, or most important member first. When leaving say goodbye to each person individually.

STEREOTYPES “All Argentines must look indigenous with very dark
