Cultures of Ecuador
Descendants of migrants
The cultural diversity of Ecuador has been enriched with the contribution of groups of people who were migrants, for example, there are many people from Colombia and Peru here in our country and vice versa, in addition the Ecuadorian culture was influenced by European and Asian migrants. These people from abroad started some activities that influenced the habits and customs of our country. On the other hand, Ecuadorian migrants still maintain their customs.
Cultures of Ecuador
Culture is the way of life of people and / or social groups. In Ecuador there are different cultures that, over time, have given rise to new cultural expressions. Culture is not fixed; transforms over time.
The indigenous: they are the oldest culture in Ecuador. They have preserved their cultures, however, some indigenous elements are threatened, because children and young people are adopting habits that no longer use their native tongue and they no practice their customs.
Afro-descendants or Blacks: they have lived in Ecuador since colonial times and have a great presence especially in Esmeraldas, Imbabura, Guayas, Carchi and Pichincha. Their own cultural traits are endangered by poverty and the influence of other cultures.
Mestizos: they are the majority of the Ecuadorian population. It is the product of the union of a European, indigenous and Afro, The mestizos, have original values such as the "Pasillo" that has Spanish and indigenous influences, but in its development it has been something of its own.
