Culture
Uruguay has a very traditional, nationalistic culture. Its people don’t like being compared to their neighbors in Paraguay or Argentina, or having their culture criticized by foreigners.
Socially, Uruguayans are friendly, hospitable, and enjoy having guests in their homes. Though they can be very direct in what they say, they choose their words with care.
A handshake is a typical greeting between all genders and social classes.
