One day before the burning of the Old Year, Gualaceo lives its own party that makes its inhabitants proud: the declaration of Cultural Heritage of Ecuador.
On December 30, 2002 the Institute of Heritage gave it this title for its ancient architectural wealth, oral tradition, its customs, exquisite cuisine, beautiful landscapes …
The sober, well-preserved mansions provide scenic beauty to the Historic Center. The Gualaceños participate in the cultural events and fairs organized by the Municipality. In this space, the population is also made aware of the preservation of tangible and intangible heritage.
