Ecuador at beauty pageants
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The first beauty queen in Ecuador was Sara Chacón Zúñiga[1] from Guayaquil, Guayas province in 1930. She wore the sash and the crown of Miss Ecuador for the very first time. The contest was inactive for more than 20 years until 1955 when Leonor Carcache won the first modern title of Miss Ecuador and became the first representative of the country to the Miss Universe pageant.
