"When visiting Punta del Diablo, it is important to be aware of the local customs and adhere to cultural norms. Be mindful of appropriate dress, especially when entering religious spaces. Be respectful of other cultures, languages, religions, and individual beliefs. Refrain from taking photos of locals without asking for their permission, as this could be perceived as disrespectful. Avoid talking about sensitive topics such as politics and religion, as these are fraught with differently held opinions. Do not touch or take anything, especially anything that appears to have spiritual or religious significance. Respect the local environment and wildlife and respect the local vendors by shopping locally. Finally, it is always appreciated when visitors learn a few words of the local language," mentioned another expat when asked about moving to Punta del Diablo, Uruguay.
