Ecuador

Spanish Language Immersion Programs

Rolling green pastures, misty cloud forests and colorful Quechua villages create a majestic Andean mountainside, while sprawling beaches and blue-footed boobies await you in the Galapagos Islands. And with a capital city prided for maintaining its historic colonial heritage, Ecuador has something for everyone! Did you know that the word Ecuador means “Equator” in Spanish? You’ll stand with one foot in each hemisphere when you visit the equatorial line! Practice the Spanish you’ve learned while your Quiteño host family teaches you the infamous Ecuadorian card game Cuarenta.
