ETHNOGRAPHY

The majority of the Ecuadorian population is mestizo, a mixture of both European and Amerindian

ancestry, and much like their ancestry, the national culture is also a blend of these two sources,

along with influences from kings from Africa. 95% of Ecuadorians are Roman Catholic, although

their Christian beliefs are mixed with ancient indigenous customs.

Ecuador can be split up into three parts, geographically; the Costa (coast), the Sierra (Highlands)

and El Oriente (the east; which includes the Amazonic region). The Galapagos Islands or

Archipiélago de Colón also belong to Ecuador. There is tension and dislike between the residents

of Quito and Guayaquil. Additionally, there is centralism in these two cities, so people from other

provinces also tend to dislike its residents. Furthermore, due to the at times extreme cultural

difference between the Coast and the Sierra, there is a general dislike between those two regions

that traces back to prehispanic times.



LENGUAJE

The official lenguaje of intercultural relations is Spanish, with its peculiarities and idioms of each

area of region. Quichua, Shuar, the tsàfiqui and other ancestral lenguajes are for official use for
