Anos viejos, or "old years," are effigies often made from old clothes, straw, and other materials, symbolizing the old year. In many Latin American countries, especially Ecuador, they are burned at midnight on New Year's Eve as a way to bid farewell to the past year and welcome the new one with hope and renewal. This tradition is accompanied by fireworks and celebrations, marking a fresh start for the coming year. The ashes are sometimes collected and buried or scattered, symbolizing the release of bad luck and negative experiences.
