Ecuadorian Culture, Facts and Figures

Introduction The Americas are divided into three regions: North America, Central America, South America. The last region is as important as many countries with high adult and child mortality rates. For the purposes of this article, I have chosen Ecuador as one of the countries with the highest mortality rate in that country. According to the World Health Organization (WHO, 2011), the mortality rate of children under 5 years old is 23 deaths per 1,000 newborns, adult mortality rate is 162 males, female 15 to 60 years old. 89 of 1,000 newborns died.

The majority of the population of Ecuador is a mixture of European and American Indian families, very similar to their ancestors, a mixture of these two sources, as well as the influence of slaves from the coastal areas of Africa. 95% of the Ecuadorans are Roman Catholics. Peruvian tradition of art can be traced back to refined ceramics, textiles, jewelry, and sculptures of culture before the Inca. Inca people preserved these crafts and accomplished architectural achievements, including the construction of Machu Picchu. It was changed by the local tradition, but Baroque art dominated the colonial era. In the meantime, most of the art focused on religious themes; the churches of the times and the paintings of the Cusco school were representatives. After independence, the art stagnated until Indigenismo appeared in the early 20 th century. The art of Peru has been compromised since the 1950s and has been influenced by foreign and local artistic trends.

The culture and history of Ecuador reflects the diversity of the landscape. As in most parts of South America, the culture of Ecuador combines the influence of Spanish colonialism and the flexible tradition of Colombian former citizens. Archaeologists go back to the first inhabitants of 10,000 BC. At that time, hunters and collectors made settlements on the south coast and central highlands. By 3 and 200 BC, three different agriculture-based civilizations emerged, and created some of the oldest potteries in the hemisphere. They established trade routes with nearby Peruvian, Brazilian and Amazonian tribes. Culture is prosperous and continues to diversify, and by the year 500 BC a large city was established along the coast. Their residents have sophisticated metalworking and navigation techniques, they trade with the Mayan in Mexico. When the Inca ruler Tupac-Yupanki invaded the south in 1460, the three major tribes of Ecuador were enough to give him a fight: canary, kuuit and crow
