Do you know Saraguro, Ecuador?
Saraguro, a charming Andean town in southern Ecuador, is known for its rich cultural heritage and deep Kichwa roots. Its history dates to Tahuantinsuyo, when it is believed that the Saraguro people were strategically resettled as part of the Inca expansion. Over time, this community integrated its ancestral identity with elements of the Catholic faith, highlighted by the imposing church in its main square that is a symbol of devotion and meeting point for its residents.
Today, Saraguro keeps its traditions alive, from the black and white woolen clothing to the festivities that combine Kichwa and Catholic customs. This balance between the ancestral and the contemporary makes Saraguro a unique destination, where every corner tells a story of resistance, faith and living culture.
