"When visiting Crucita, it's important to respect the local customs and traditions to avoid any cultural faux pas. Avoid wearing revealing clothing, as Ecuador is a predominantly Catholic country and modesty is highly valued. Always greet people with a warm "Buenos días" or "Buenas tardes" depending on the time of day. It's considered rude to point with your fingers, instead use your whole hand or nod in the direction. Avoid discussing sensitive topics such as politics, religion, and personal income. Ecuadorians value punctuality, but they also have a relaxed sense of time, so don't be surprised if events or meetings start later than scheduled. When dining, it's polite to keep your hands on the table (but not your elbows), and always wait for the host to start eating or drinking before you do. Tipping is customary in Ecuador, so be sure to leave a small tip at restaurants or for services. Lastly, remember that the local language is Spanish, so learning a few basic phrases can go a long way in showing respect for the local culture," commented one expat who made the move to Crucita, Ecuador.
