Paraguay — Culture
Customs
Visitors should respect the fact that Paraguayans are a conservative people who value old-fashioned courtesies. As with neighboring countries, locals enjoy a siesta over lunch when they snooze or drink maté (local tea) with friends.
Tipping
The better restaurants are likely to add service charge or a suggested tip, but if not 10% is advised. For porters and other services small change is acceptable. Taxi drivers should not be tipped, but a price should be agreed upon before travel.
