Member Nation : Ecuador
Ecuador is a country straddling the equator on South America’s west coast. Its diverse landscape encompasses Amazon jungle, Andean highlands and the wildlife-rich Galápagos Islands. In the Andean foothills at an elevation of 2,850m, Quito, the capital, is known for its largely intact Spanish colonial center, with decorated 16th- and 17th-century palaces and religious sites, like the ornate Compañía de Jesús Church

Ethnic Cuisine
Honrado of hornado de chancho or slow roasted pork, that can be made for a smaller dinner party or small family celebration – or just because you’re craving it. This easy version of hornado can made with a smaller cut of pork and requires less marinating/less roasting time. I used a pork shoulder that was a still a decent size at, but you can also make it with a pork loin, as long as you’re willing to give up the crispy pork skin.

Ethnic Clothing
The Ecuadorian woman's dress is the closest to the Incan costumes worn in the Andes. A white blouse, a blue skirt and a shawl is usually worn. Jewelry is very important, layers of necklaces of predominantly gold beads and red coral bracelets are the most common form of jewelry worn by the Otavalo women.
