So not all these facts will be weird or unknown, but hopefully they're all interesting!

  • The Ecuadorian national sport is soccer (or futbol) so obviously they have great taste in sports 
  • Other popular sports include bullfighting and volleyball (although that is played with a soccer ball) 
  • For foods, Ecuador is the world's highest banana exporter! 
  • Don't eat with your hands there, it is considered very rude! (including pizza) 
  • Ecuadorians consider guinea pig to be a delicacy so if you have one for a pet try not to be offended...
  • (He's so cute!) 
  • Ecuador's national music is pasillo (according to youtube this is an example of that: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u9nz7yLcpBI)
  • The Ecuadorian flag's colors are yellow for the diversity of the country, blue for the sea and sky, and red for the blood of those who fought for independence 
  • Ecuador was the first nation in 2008 to declare that nature has constitutional rights (equality for everything!) 
  • My last fact is going to be that Ecuador has the world's highest diversity of humming bird species 
  • I'll leave you with one last picture: 
  • (They're just too cute to eat!!)
