Ancestral Cultures
|
 |
|
Ecuador’s indigenous people have been residing in the Andes, Amazon Basin and lowlands long before colonialists even knew South America existed. Today they still retain the ancient languages as well as their unique culture.
Visitors to Ecuador will find it to be a country of great natural beauty and diversity. There is no doubt that the hard working, friendly Ancestral people of Ecuador contribute to the diversity of this interesting country.

For Destination Weddings bookings, we encourage you to book as soon as possible. Most Ecuadorian weddings book six months to one year in advance of the ceremony. The sooner we are contacted, the better we can accommodate your request. As soon as you know the date and time, the more chance you will have to secure the exact date and time you want for your Ecuadorian wedding ceremony. However, even if you decide last minute, please feel free to call us about availability. We will always try our best for you. We require a 30% non-refundable deposit that will secure the date, time and location. The letter of agreement must be signed and returned to confirm the booking along with the required 30% deposit payment. With Terrasenses and ETICA Events, there are no hidden costs. Please read our conditions.
