Flavors of the Day of the Dead in Ecuador

flavors of day of the dead in ecuador

It is fascinating to learn how cultures around the globe remember their loved ones that are dead. For example, in Mexico, they build altars as a way to celebrate the deceased person. In Ecuador, the traditions are also different from other countries in the world!

First, this day is called “The Day of the Deceased” (El Día de los Difuntos.) I want to think that the chosen name for the ocassion is inspired by the reverence and respect that the Inca people had for death. This might be true since the traditional foods that are prepared for the Day of the Deceased in Ecuador have strong components of the Inca civilization.
