Week 1: Quito

In the first week, you will explore the capital of Ecuador surrounded by highlands and volcanic peaks. Your time at the Spanish school in Quito will be full of fun activities. We plan a trip to the ‘Mitad del Mundo’, an excursion to Cotopaxi National Park, a tour of the old town, and visits to museums, salsa classes, and an Ecuadorean cooking class. After all these experiences and your first Spanish lessons, you will have the first feel of Ecuador and be immersed in Ecuadorian culture and the language.

Week 2: Amazon Jungle or Cuenca (it`s your choice!)

This week the choice is yours! If you want to learn Spanish in the most biodiverse area of the Ecuadorean Amazon Rainforest. Then pick the Amazon as your new base. The Spanish school in the jungle promotes a sustainable balance with indigenous communities, traditional cultural values, and the natural environment. The week is full of action with tubing down the Amazon river, raft building, trekking to discover the Island of Birds, and a visit to indigenous communities. Here you will use a blowgun and drink a traditional Chicha drink. You can participate in cultural activities such as gold washing and artisanal ­shing. Some weeks we also visit the Amazonian animal rescue center.

If you rather go to a school in a UNESCO World Heritage Site, then the Spanish school in Cuenca will be a better pick! Enjoy the historic center in the eternal spring while you witness the abundance of art, colonial buildings, and cultural and music events. Your week in Cuenca will be full of many activities. Such as a salsa class, a city tour, a visit to the stunning central bank museum, a traditional Ecuadorian cooking class, a visit to the archeological site of Incapirca, the ruins of Pumapungo, and the Inca garden. On Saturday we offer you also the option to do a thrill that you really can’t do at home. We include as an optional activity a day trip to Baños, a thermal spa.

Week 3: Manta

On the third week of the Traveling Classroom, you will learn Spanish in one of our intimate classrooms, on the rooftop where you can enjoy the beautiful view of the Paci­c Ocean. Or sometimes we have lessons next to the swimming pool, where you can take a refreshing dip. Manta is well known for the best seafood restaurants and for enjoying wonderful beaches on the coast side of Ecuador. Also, this week is very busy and full of fun! We go on a trip to Montecristi (origin of Panama hats) where we visit Museo Ciudad Alfaro. Here you can see an impressive overview of Ecuadorian history. We will go paragliding in Crucita, visit the ‘Tagua’ handicraft shops, and a tour to Isla de la Plata, where you can enjoy rare and exotic wildlife including blue-footed boobies and nesting albatrosses. Last but not least, you can participate in a salsa dancing class and an Ecuadorean cooking class.

Week 4: Montañita

In the last week of this language adventure, you will learn Spanish in one of the most well-known surf destinations in the world. Montañita is the perfect place if you are looking to improve your Spanish skills. While here, you can enjoy everything that coastal Ecuador has to offer. Such as sandy beaches, world-class surfi­ng, wildlife, culture, and of course a nightlife that is second to none. The local people of Montañita are extremely open and inviting, you will have no problems ­ending someone with whom to practice those new skills you have been working on in class. This week you will catch every day the waves. You will have 5 surfing lessons and like other activities, we offer you salsa and yoga classes during the week. There is also a surf trip planned on Saturday.
