In Guano there is a superstition that if it is starting to rain and you want the rain to stop all you have to do is place two spoons on the ground one on top of the other in the shape of an “X”. My mom would put the spoons in the yard of the house and it would automatically stop raining.

A common superstition in Quito (and in many regions of Ecuador) is related to the "limpia" or spiritual cleansing. Many people believe that when someone is sick, experiencing bad luck, or feeling negative energies, a cleansing ritual should be performed using herbs like rue, rosemary, or chilca, accompanied by prayers.

In Quito, a traditional method involves passing an egg over the affected person's body, as it's believed the egg absorbs the negative energies. Afterward, the egg is cracked into a glass of water, and the bubbles, shapes, or marks that appear are interpreted to reveal the source of the discomfort or negative energy.

Madelyn Robalino shudders when people talk about the famous boa pool, located within the tourist walkway on the Boayaku Puyo boardwalk in Pastaza. Her skin crawls.

The 23-year-old student panics when they mention this place within the Puyo River. She would not cross on a buoy, as she did in her college days, much less get into its waters, which for her are turbulent.

She does not forget the experience she had in that place. “I was competing in a triathlon and one of the events was to go down the Puyo River on a buoy.”
