"Paraguayans are warm and greet with a handshake or a kiss on the cheek. Dress modestly; casual clothes are fine, but avoid beachwear in town. Tereré (cold mate) is a social ritual—accept it when offered. Punctuality is relaxed; arrive 15-30 minutes late for social events. Always say 'buenos días' or 'buenas tardes'."
