LEARN SPANISH IN ECUADOR Estudio de Lenguas Cuenca, Ecuador School Courses Dates Accommodation ... Culture Location Ecuador is a small and stable democratic country with a population of 11,000,000. It is about the same size as the United Kingdom (approximately 280,000 Km2), but it is a great country in the majesty of its landscape and variety of all types of life. Ecuador is a land bursting with contrasts: the warm Pacific coastline, the summits of the Andes mountains and the tangled Amazon rain forest form a brightly colored mosaic of exuberant nature and cultural diversity. And one cannot forget the Galapagos Islands, at a short two hour flight away.
Of all Andean countries, Ecuador is certainly the one in which travel is easiest and safest. Distances are short, infrastructures are acceptable, and prices are quite accessible. Whether scaling the heights of the Andes, venturing into the heart of the Amazon jungle, or sunbathing on the Pacific beaches, Ecuador offers the traveler a variety of adventures which can be reached by a bus trip of a few hours or by a half-hour flight. We highly recommend staying an extra week, or at least a few days, to travel after you have finished the Course. You'll find it's definitely worth it! | |
