LA MAMA NEGRA
Go there and contact
An important parade with the representation of the Mama Negra, who is in reality a man dressed as a woman, painted in black.
The most important festival of the year in Latacunga is undoubtedly the Mama Negra and it attracts visitors from all over the country and even the world. This festival, whose main character, the Mama Negra, is in fact a man with an effete face and dressed in rich colored clothes who goes through the streets of the city on horseback, representing the liberation of a black slave. This is a unique spectacle that you can attend in late September, recommended if you are in the area at that time. It is one of the most beautiful festivals in the country, combining culture and tradition.
