Fiesta de las Frutas y las Flores

Ambato's carnival-season festival, in its 75th 'Diamond Anniversary' edition in 2026, replaces water fights with allegorical floats built from fruit and flowers, honoring the region's agricultural bounty. The main parade features comparsas, dancers and international delegations through the city's streets.
