In Ecuador, there are about twenty 
indigenous groups. Each group has its 
own traditions, music, art, languages, 
and costumes. Their clothes tell you 
where they are from. 
The North
1 Men from Otavalo usually wear 
a black felt hat, white shirt, short 
white pants, and blue poncho. They 
also wear their hair in a 
chimba 
(long braid).
2 Women from Otavalo wear a long 
blue skirt, a white shirt, and a blue 
shawl (which they put on their 
head when it’s hot). The women 
usually wear red and gold jewelry to 
decorate their clothes. 
The Central Highlands 
3 Clothes are very colorful in the 
provinces of Chimborazo, Cotopaxi, 
and Bolívar. Women wear thick 
wool stockings, felt hats, shawls or 
ponchos, and 
anaco. The anaco is a 
long piece of material (
tela espejo) 
that becomes a skirt. They also 
wear colorful belts (
guato).
4 To protect themselves from the cold, 
men wear ponchos and felt hats. 
The South
5 Women from Cuenca usually have two braids, not 
one, and they wear white straw hats (
paja). Their 
anaco skirts are short, and are usually very bright 
colors, with little bits of gold or silver. Most people 
wear flat shoes. 
6 Loja is diff erent from Cuenca. The Saraguro 
people wear black and white (black hats, pants, 
and shawls). The women wear black and white 
striped skirts.
