RE: Real Life Captured #43: New Year's Eve in Guayaquil Ecuador! Final Part Three (14 photos)

in #travel7 years ago

I could imagine! It looks and sounds pretty scary! I'm wondering is this is a tradition they have for New Years or if it is just something that randomly happened while you were there..?
Thanks, have a great day! :-)

Great question Josefine. This is actually a tradition practiced all throughout Latin America. The burning of the doll represents the death of the old year as the new year comes in. Hope you had a great weekend! Steem on! -Dan

Oh wow, that's really interesting! Maybe I'll get to experience it one day ;-)
Thanks, I did! Hope you did as well. - Josefine
