Wondering what to do for Thanksgiving in Ecuador this Year?
2020 has been marked by COVID-19, and all of the myriad of challenges we have faced as a result. With restrictions lifting, you may be feeling the slow return to normalcy, and are ready and excited to think about your Thanksgiving plans. You may even be considering a Thanksgiving reminiscent of previous years, but the thought of hosting, cooking, and cleaning add to the stress that none of us need right now.
Since nothing about this year has felt like normal, why not consider an entirely new Thanksgiving tradition that can help avoid stress?
This year at Nido de Vida, we are hosting Thanksgiving celebrations as private parties on our farm. This is a perfect way for you to celebrate with people you care about while also sharing a new adventure together without the stress of the cooking and cleaning.
We will host one group at a time (see dates below). You are responsible to organize your own group of at least 7 people and no more than 12 (including children). During your time at Nido de Vida you will be the only guests, so you can worry less about social distancing, and focus more on the opportunity to enjoy what the property has to offer and very importantly, the Thanksgiving celebration.
Your Thanksgiving meal will be prepared entirely by us at Nido de Vida (you won’t have to worry about a thing), and you can expect a traditional meal of turkey, stuffing, mash potatoes, breads, mac and cheese, green bean casserole, and pies. Bibi, co-founder of Nido de Vida, is a US American from Pittsburgh, PA, and married into this beautiful Ecuadorian family. This is to say, not only do we know our way around Thanksgiving cooking, we also understand how important a holiday it is for many (As Bibi’s favorite holiday of the year, we have been celebrating Thanksgiving as a family for many years).
