One of the interesting things that happened today in our trip in Ecuador was the traditional dancing ceremony that we got to see. The dancing involved older men, women and even children participating in the dance. The Quechua would have wooden spears that can move around in a circle around the room, while occasionally doing a small whistle sound that was very unique.
There was also a different group of people that were dressed differently, that were doing similar activities. Two young adults of this group had a combat scene. It was a combination between battle and dance, and it was very interesting to see. Overall, the experience was different than what I am used to, but very much enjoyed it.
