City life
Quito, Ecuador’s capital city, offers a natural beauty that is, quite literally, breathtaking. Study Spanish where you can enjoy year-round spring weather and proximity to snow-capped volcanoes, majestic mountains and lush rainforest.
Explore
After your Spanish class go horseback riding in the mountains nearby. Marvel at the Iglesia de la Merced, one of the last churches constructed in the colonial period or see the image of the Virgin of the Americas at the top of Panecillo hill. The Galapagos Islands, the Amazon and the Andes – Quito is close to exotic attractions and natural wonders.
Volunteering
This help is invaluable, the experience unforgettable, and the options varied. Included are: environmental, cultural, educational, agricultural and social organizations, with the option of either working a few hours a week while taking your Spanish course or, after your course is complete, going to live and work within or nearby a community.
