- Chileans tend to place more emphasis on people and relationships than to the strict adherence of set schedules.
- While the bus, train, and plane schedules will be adhered to for the most part, showing up two hours late to a party or function is quite common.
-
It is not rude to be late, in fact most people will be late to social situations, although if you are inferior to a person in status and you’re going to a business meeting you better be on time, while the superior is allowed to be as late as he or she wants.
