Ecuador’s culture and traditions: 3 basic facts
1- Ecuador is located between Peru and Colombia in western South America. It borders the Pacific Ocean along the Equator.
2- The majority religion in Ecuador is Roman Catholic, accounting for 95% of the population.
3- Speaking of population, it is estimated that Ecuador is home to somewhere in the region of 15,654,000 people.
Greeting people in Ecuador
=====================
The most popular form of greeting in Ecuador is a handshake. Look the person in the eye, smile, and give the appropriate greeting for the time of day:
First thing in the morning, you should say “Buenos dias!“
If it’s the afternoon, go with “Buenos tardes!“
In the evening, “Buenos noches!” is best.
If in doubt, or if you forget, you can always go with a simple “Hola!”
Don’t use the person’s first name unless they do the same with you first. Instead, address them as either “Senor” or “Senora”.
Dining in Ecuador
Ecuador’s culture and traditions relating to dining are not overly complicated. Understand the most important aspects of etiquette and you will have no problems. Keep the following tips in mind:
If invited to a family home for dinner, do not arrive on time. Arrive half an hour or 45 minutes late. Always bring a gift, dress well, and offer to help the host. All of these show respect and gratitude, and will be much appreciated.
In Ecuador, they don’t like to talk business during social events. Unless you are at a business dinner, or have been specifically prompted otherwise, don’t bring up business or work topics at the table or during parties.
Before you take a sip of your drink, wait for the toast (or toasts). The host will make the first toast, usually saying “Salud!”
Always use a knife and fork, even for pieces of fruit. Proper tables manners in Ecuador is to hold the knife in your right hand and fork in your left.
Ecuador’s culture and traditions: Language
==================================
Never underestimate the importance of knowing something of the local language. Just as any trip to Santiago, Chile will be improved by knowing a few words in Chilean Spanish, understanding the language in Ecuador will be of huge benefit.
Speaking Spanish in Ecuador
There are over 20 different languages spoken in Ecuador, though the official language is Spanish. Perhaps not surprisingly, Spanish is also the most commonly spoken. If you can speak Spanish, you’re way ahead of the pack. If not, you might want to carry a phrase book (or Google Translate) to help you get by.
Other languages in Ecuador
Beyond Spanish, they speak various other languages in Ecuador. If you’ve already mastered Spanish and want a bigger challenge, why not learn a few words in another language? Some of the other languages they speak in Ecuador are:
Achuar-Shiwiar
Cha’palaachi
Colorado
Cuaiquer
Quichua
Siona
Sound like too much? Don’t worry, you should get by just fine with some basic Spanish phrases. Popular areas with tourists will also have English speakers on hand.

Why people here aren't dark skinned ? Equator passes through ecuador.
Does it really matter? You sound ignorant...EXTREMELY ignorant. Skin color is just as irrelevant as hair or eye color.🤦♀️
@@ThatTaRaGiRL now you will call me racist and all that...i just asked the question because these areas are very close to equater and therefore the temperature is extremely hot and due to that people in these regions are mostly dark skinned. Nothing to be ignorant here. Stop searching for violence everywhere. Its science. I am from India and here the people in the southern part of the country are mostly dark skinned because of the temperature and in the northern part people are light skinned. So its just a simple logic. People staying away from equater are mostly light skinned and that's science. Please stop spreading unnecessary violence without knowing things. You seem ignorant and I really don't understand why people think being dark is an offensive thing to say. Its just a skin colour...grow up girl nd stop spreading negatively. Sorry to say this but you really have a narrow thinking. I feel sorry for you and your thinking. I didn't ask the question because skin colour matters but i did ask because as per science it is relevant. But you really need to focus on science first and thn reply to comments otherwise you will end up commenting such irrelevant and stupid things
The capital Quito is based in a valley meaning the weather isn’t hot. People near the coast and beaches tend to be darker skinned on the low lying grounds. As an Ecuadorian I haven’t seen black Ecuadorians but I have heard of them. Racism still exist in Ecuador. I hate it.
I was born and raised in Ecuador and all I can say is that apart from being mega diverse in animals, plants, etc, we are also multicultural, which depending on the region/ province you travel, you are gonna find people with a wide variety of different skin tones, not just dark skin. And different ethnicities as well.
That’s what makes us so unique and different at the same time. ^_^
@@michellediaz3224 lmao okay, you just want that victim mentality that you get from America ok gringo😂
