Huasipichai - is a word in kichwa (indigenous ecuadorian language) that refers to the inaguration of a house built together with the support of the community
Pachanga - is a word commonly used for party. We believe that any new project that has been built as a community is worth celebrating and that is why all our projects are a Huasipichanga!
