What: Wrapped in Tradition :The Story of Guaguas de Pan and Colada Morada.

Ecuador’s Day of the Dead (Día de los Difuntos) is a vibrant celebration where memory, art, and culinary heritage intertwine. At the heart of this ancient tradition are Colada Morada and Guaguas de Pan—far more than seasonal treats, they are living symbols of connection between past and present.
We cordially invite you to our upcoming Wednesdays at The Hogar for an insightful gathering dedicated to discovering the story behind these unique customs.
Together, we will explore:
📜 Anthropological Origins: The indigenous roots and pre-Hispanic symbolism behind gathering around food to honor ancestors.
🎨 Artistic & Cultural Meaning: The craftsmanship, motifs, and communal significance of preparing and sharing Guaguas de Pan.
🍷 Culinary Heritage: The rich blend of native Andean ingredients and historical influences that make Colada Morada a unique cultural expression.
Whether you are a recent arrival eager to understand local customs or a long-time resident wishing to deepen your appreciation of Ecuadorian culture, this interactive talk offers a warm space to learn, reflect, and ask questions.
