Ecuador - Panteón de Cuajara (Cemetery of Cuajara)

This pantheon (cemetery) is more than 150 years old. It replaced the old pantheon, on which the house of the hacienda was built. This cemetery was also used to bury the deceased from other communities that did not have a graveyard. This is a site of reverence since the ancestors were buried here. There are memories of the hardships of the “concertaje” system. The new generations recall that their parents and grandparents died in the haciendas.
