Explanation:

Ambato and Guaranda, for their characteristic celebrations with massive allegorical parades, constitute the center of attention.

For example, in Guaranda, there is a parade of allegorical cars, identifying various themes and most of the troupes dance the traditional carnival hymn called "El carnival de Guaranda".

Ambato is not far behind with its traditional “Festival of Flowers and Fruits” where cultural comparsas are held, parades of floats decorated with flowers and fruits from the area, and the participation of delegations from other countries to parade in the event.

While in the Guano canton the great carnival corso is celebrated, this being the main attraction. At night you can enjoy fireworks and artists of national and international renown.

Cities like Guayaquil have been changing the old custom of games with water, ink, flour and oil, for that of artistic shows, parades with floats, parades, among many other activities.

Despite this, there are people who still practice this type of celebration but in groups of family and friends.

Other cities such as Cuenca, Quito and Latacunga also present parades of groups and floats; and its people still maintain the tradition of getting wet on the streets.
