ABOUT ECUADOR

Ecuador is a beautiful country with very kind and hospitable people. It’s
situated in the center of the world, in a phenomenal region of South America
with various extraordinary climate zones.

 
 


 The COSTA with its beaches, palms, plantations, dry forests and Afro-Ecuadorian
culture will ignite your spirit. The colossal SIERRA landscape of intimidating
snow-capped volcanoes and inspiring lush valleys is home to remarkable
indigenous people rich in culture and creativity. The ORIENTE at the start of
the most lush and diverse ecosystem ever to exist feeds the river system that
becomes the Amazon. The incomparable GALAPAGOS Islands lie in wait to showcase
spectacular flora, prehistoric reptilian species and blue-footed boobies.

In your casual time you will find a lot of possibilities for activities like
biking, hiking, climbing, paragliding, rafting, trekking, jungle expeditions,
swimming and nature-watching in protected areas.

 
 

Quito is the capital of Ecuador. Located in the northern part of the country at
an altitude of 2,850m and hosting 2,671,191 residents this ancient city is the
perfect starting point for any South American adventure. The historic city
center still shines with lustrous white colonial buildings, churches and vibrant
squares. In the modern city all of the amenities of modern life abound. In a
single day a visitor can be whisked back in time to enjoy the traditional Andean
cuisine and then relax in the luxurious modern theaters or stroll through halls
of contemporary art.  On sunny days one can spot the volcanic peaks of Cotopaxi
or Cayambe, and on rainy days you'll enjoy the hearty soups common in these
highlands. There is always a mild climate and something unusual to taste.
Explore our markets filled with the art, crafts and textiles of the indigenous
people from Otavalo. Whatever your pleasure, you'll be happy to call Quito a
launchpad for the fantastic journey through South America.

Dance, play and have fun engaging with us in the evening. We do these activities
with explanations from a teacher or guide and in the context of understanding
South America.

Some weekends the academy could organize optional activities like hikes to the
mountains or visits to villages and sites nearby. In this case the expenses
depend on the duration and the costs.
