What cultural faux pas should I try to avoid making in Quepos?

Answer this Question

We asked people in Quepos if they could share any humorous cultural blunders they commited. For new expats, keep in mind that these incidents are an inevitable part of expat life. Learning to laugh about them is the key!...

"It is important to be respectful of local customs when visiting Quepos. Avoid making negative comments about the country or its people, as this can be seen as offensive. Additionally, it is important to dress modestly and to be aware of local customs when it comes to physical contact. It is also important to be mindful of the environment and to avoid littering or damaging the local wildlife. Finally, it is important to be respectful of local religious beliefs and to avoid discussing sensitive topics such as politics or religion," commented one expat who made the move to Quepos, Costa Rica.
