Ecuador's colonial religious architecture is predominantly baroque, although domestic architecture tends to be simple and elegant, comprising whitewashed verandahed houses built around a central courtyard. Local crafts include fine examples of basketry, leatherwork, woodcarving, weaving, ceramics and jewelry.
Ecuadorian food consists mainly of soup and stews, corn pancakes, rice, eggs and vegetables.
Seafood is particularly good, even in the highlands. USFQ is a nonprofit institution that seeks to develop creative and innovative people with an entrepreneurial spirit.
