Doing a report on Ecuador. cannot find anything on taboos. any suggestions?

Here are two of many social taboos in Ecuador to help you get started....Good luck with your report

Respect
Among many other cultural idiosyncrasies, it is considered impolite to use a downward-facing palm as a reference for the height of a person. Instead, the hand is held on its side, and the measurement taken from the lower edge to the floor. Gesturing with the palm down is appropriate for animals only.

When motioning for someone to "come here," it is impolite to motion your hand with the palm facing up. Instead, use a downward swipe of the hand with the palm facing down.

Avoid wearing any tee shirts that say "I love Peru".... LOL

Never reject food that is offered to you. This is probably the worst thing you can do. I lived in Ecuador for a while.
