TOPIC: What is your favourite handicraft from your community?

1. Answer this question
a. What are some interesting handicrafts made in Ecuador for tourists?

Toquilla straw hats (Los sombreros de paja

toquilla)
Although they are known
worldwide as Panama Hat,
toquilla straw hats are traditionally
Ecuadorian. These fedora hats
became popular during the
construction of the famous
Panama Canal when they were
imported from Ecuador.

Cuenca pottery (Cerámica de Cuenca)

The origin of this type of pottery
dates back to pre-Columbian
cultures and, today, it is a product
of the crossbreeding of pre-
Columbian and Spanish
techniques. The pieces that are
made are of the highest quality
and, just as there is hand-made
ceramics; industrial ceramics
(tiles, etc.) are also manufactured,
which are highly appreciated in
international markets.
