Party Fruit and Flowers is one of Ecuador's most popular
celebrations and takes place in Ambato, for the carnival. This feast began to
be celebrated in 1951, as a way in which people celebrated their rebirth
Ambato, after an earthquake destroyed the city in 1949. The Feast of Fruits and
Flowers was in the beginning (after the earthquake) an agricultural fair, but
in 1951 coincided with the carnival. It is so called because the players are
precisely fruits and flowers are produced in abundance in the region, and this
party is, somehow, the opportunity to thank the earth for its fertility, and
portend good harvests
Food
The dish par excellence of Ambato: the llapingachos. This

Carnival in Rio the Janeiro
Carnival has been a massive party for centuries. The Greeks
celebrated many festivals of its kind in honor of the god of wine. The Romans
continued to celebrate in honor of Bacchus and during Saturnalia, where men
spent an entire day in a drunken state and according to tradition, the masters
and soldiers exchanged clothes. The Roman Catholic Church later adopted these
celebrations until Ash Wednesday, the first day of Lent in the Christian calendar.
"Entrudo" is the name of a Portuguese festival which apparently is
the source of the Rio Carnival. The first dance of Carnival in Rio was held in
1840 and participants danced polkas and waltzes, as opposed to the samba, which
was not introduced until 1917.

Unquestionably the typical food of Rio de Janeiro is the

especially on Saturdays tradition. Full carioca feijoada is composed of a stew
of beans (beans) black cooked with pork, bacon and sausage mainly served with

include some kind of fried meat, fried potatoes, rice, farofa and a portion
simple Feijao (only baked beans without meat).
The steaks, a combination of different types of meat cooked
on a grill that is usually accompanied by white rice, Feijao, farofa, fried
