Are you planning to visit Ecuador on a holiday? Ecuador observes around a dozen national and religious holidays each year. Most important holidays in Ecuador originate from the Catholic religious calendar and from independence from Spain. During these days banks, public offices, and most shops are often closed. If a public holiday falls on a Tuesday or a Thursday, the local government may declare a “bridge”. This means that employees can take a long weekend.
