The past 10 days have provided a fun, and entertaining change to our monotonous jungle life! After being stateside for 3-4 weeks, we often say "We miss our simple. tranquil, jungle life" and usually after about 3-4 weeks in the jungle we say, "we could use a little action". Fiestas de Sucúa was the perfect change of pace that we needed.
Each year Sucúa celebrates their anniversary with a 10+ day celebration that includes family events, competitions, festivals, dancing, parades, and more! This year Sucúa celebrated their 53 anniversary! This was our first year participating/being here for the festivals, and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves!

We didn't get to hit up all of the events, but we did get to see a lot of fun and very cool things/events. Below is a slide show of a few of the events that we got to go to. We even took advantage to get out for a free date night :) Hope you enjoy a little piece of what we got to enjoy for the past couple of weeks!
We also got to see groups perform dances from all over Ecuador! It was fun to the different costumes and the different dances! The program started around 8pm and ended around midnight...needless to say we didn't stay all night, we stayed for the first round and headed home around 10pm! Enjoy the beautiful colours and dances!
