  Description

  We are the Cultural Foundation, located in the city of Ambato, also known as the Garden of Ecuador or the birthplace of the Three Juans (great national writers). Our foundation will offer you the experience of learning about the beautiful customs and traditions of our magnificent country, Ecuador. You will also be able to learn how to make ancestral crafts using different materials such as mullos, seeds, textiles, wool, feathers, clay, among others. You will also learn traditional and typical dances of our country, and you will have the opportunity to learn to play Andean instruments, thus being able to share our music and dance. We have two local employees who assist us in teaching both craft and dance techniques.
