About Andean, Peruvian and Ecuadorian Cultures
GoConqr OriginalWhat this page covers
The resources here centre on three linked themes: Ecuador, Peru and the wider Andean world. Most are mind maps, made by GoConqr users, with a small set of flashcard decks and two notes created from maps.
Ecuador: customs and diversity
The largest group looks at Ecuador. Customs and traditions in the Ecuador sets out holiday traditions such as Old Year and New Year, Carnival and Easter. Customs and Traditions in Ecuador looks at the human groups that have settled there from Europe, Africa and other countries. Cultures of Ecuador explains how the word culture is used, including for aboriginal peoples who lived in the territory thousands of years ago.
Several maps called Intercultural Diversity of Ecuador cover the country as a multicultural, multi-ethnic nation. They discuss Mestizos, indigenous groups and Afro-Ecuadorians. Inti Raymi shows how different Andean communities celebrate it, known in Ecuador as San Pedro.
Peru and the Andes
The Peruvian maps, titled Peruvian Cultural Manifestations in several versions, introduce Andean tradition and the Quechua, described as direct descendants of the Incas. Other maps cover Traditional Clothing in Peru, Traditions of Peru and Peruvian Culture. For the wider region, try The Andean Cosmovision, Andean Culture and PACHAMAMA.
The Inkans flashcard deck lists terms such as Inti, Pachamama, Mamaquilla, Sapa Inka, Coya and Allyu, plus chroniclers of the Inca world. The Napo decks, including Napo and its culture, focus on one Ecuadorian province.
