"When visiting El Ayote, it's important to respect local customs and traditions. Avoid wearing revealing clothing, as this can be seen as disrespectful in this predominantly Catholic country. It's also considered rude to point with your fingers, especially at people, so try to use your whole hand or nod in the direction instead. Avoid criticizing the government or political situation, as this can be a sensitive topic. Also, refrain from making assumptions or stereotypes about the country or its people based on limited knowledge or experiences. When dining, it's polite to finish all the food on your plate as leaving food can be seen as wasteful or ungrateful. If you're invited to someone's home, it's customary to bring a small gift for the host. It's also important to remember that Nicaraguans value punctuality, so try to be on time for any appointments or social gatherings. Lastly, always ask for permission before taking photos of people, as it's considered disrespectful to do so without consent," mentioned another expat when asked about moving to El Ayote, Nicaragua.
