Cultural Tip
In most Spanish‑speaking countries, travelers must present a customs declaration (formulario de aduanas) when entering or leaving the country. Some airports now use electronic kiosks, but the paper form is still common on smaller flights. Remember to keep the form handy, as officers may ask for it at the checkpoint.
