Cultures of the Coast |
| The oldest Ecuadorian cultures are located on the coast. Many of these have already disappeared, and the ones that still exist live in a constant struggle to continue practicing their beliefs. They have a deep and stretch relationship with nature, a connection that now a days is vanishing from a lot of peoples’ minds. |

Ecuador Cultures of the Highlands |
| The indigenous cultures of the highland are the best known Ecuadorian cultures, especially because of the location and the easy access. Eventhough they are deeply influenced by other Ecuador cultures, it is still possible to see them with their typical costumes, continuing with their traditions and festivities, and speaking their mother language, Quichua. They are proud of their art, and you will discover their union and the value of communitarian work in these impressive Ecuadorian cultures. |

Ecuador Cultures of the Amazon Region |
| Probably some of the most interesting Ecuador cultures are located in the Amazon Region. They are more pure and untouched because of the location and lack of access possibilities combined with the dense rainforest. These groups maintain their belief, assuring that the human being is a part of nature, and not the center of it. In Ecuadorian cultures, specially in the tropical rainforest, everything is possible, plants have power, and even rocks have a spirit, myths and legends are all around and respect for the environment and other people is what really matters. |
