32. Peruvian Facts: History, Language and Culture In Peru, it is polite to keep your hands (not the elbows) above the table. Good manners include eating all the food that is provided. Meals are considered leisure conversations, so it is important to talk during a meal. Conversations with Peruvians take place at a closer distance than those with Westerners. Stepping back is disrespectful. The traditional welcome in a Peruvian home is “Estas en tu Casa,” which translates to “You are in your house.” Refreshments are usually offered, though it is not impolite to decline them.
