Ecuador Spanishs Schools: Galapagos, Quito and Otavalo
QUITO SPANISH SCHOOL
The Quito Spanish school is located in the heart of the " New City ." Quito, Ecuador's capital, is nestled in an Andean valley at 2800 meters above sea level and has a pleasant spring-like climate all year around. With a population of 1.5 million people, Quito is a rich metropolis filled with museums, Spanish language schools, theaters, music, and dance.
"New Quito", with its modern office buildings, night clubs, shopping centers, and parks, is in stark contrast to "Old Quito". Old Quito is noted for its magnificent colonial architecture, old churches and open plazas. The spirit and colors of our friendly city are the result of both our Spanish roots and an ancient Incan culture which continues to thrive in Ecuador.
Our neighborhood is home to a vibrant food and artisan market and is filled with a variety of small restaurants and stores serving local delicacies and selling a random collection of merchandise.
The Spanish school is located within a renovated colonial-style house and is equipped with televisioin, free internet 
while in Ecuador, videos, barbeque, fireplace, library, storage room, and a common room for breaks. There is also a patio with garden to enjoy the sunny weather of Quito.
Our school address is Darquea Terán 1650 one block away from Avenida 10 de Agosto, the main form of North-South travel through Quito on the Trolley Bus. This system connects us to the historic Old Town, just ten minutes to the South and to the Quito Mariscal Sucre airport, 15 minutes to the North.
Free-time activities
During the week we organize optional social and educational activities i.e. cooking classes, free salsa lessons, visits to museums, etc. On the weekends we organize excursions to the cloud forest, indigenous communities, indigenous markets etc. These excursions include trekking, horseback riding, mountain biking etc.
The Old Town boasts some exciting cultural activities during the week-ends and with numerous museums to visit, from Pre-Incan gold collections to Guayasamin's world renowned artwork, there is never a dull moment. We haven't even mentioned the numerous bars and restaurants at your finger tips!

Comments
Estimado Eugenio,
Finalmente volví a Inglaterra. Le agradezco por haber organizado mis
viajes y mis estudios con mucha paciencia. Las 6 semanas en Ecuador
fueron unas de las más interesantes de mi vida.
I can whole heartedly recommend your language school Instituto
Superior de Español. The concept of learning Spanish while travelling
is superb and your organizational talent in working out individual
itineraries is admirable! For some spoilt visitors from rich countries
it might be hard to fit in with an Ecuadorian family, but it gives a
unique opportunity to learn more about the country than the
superficial impressions usually granted to tourists.
Many thanks to you, your team and the host families for the courtesy,
patience and good humor which made my trip so enjoyable!
I can also recommend the very friendly and comfortable jungle lodge
and rafting or kayaking excursions who's safety standards were better
than some European organizations I have encountered.

"Hi there
I just wanted to give some feedback about this spanish school in quito since there arent any reviews of it as far as i can see & thought itd be helpful for anyone considering it.
Eugenio, the owner of the school, was sooo helpful to me. Im a single female travelling for a month in Ecuador. He picked me up from the airport, helped me organise my galapagos trip & jungle trips (and got me discounts). I went on the one week travelling course to the sierra, have just got back- it was amazing and for me speaking LIMITED spanish! (and zero confiednce when speaking it..) was perfect to travel on local buses, eat local food etc etc.
My spanish has improved so much in one week, i learned more in one week than i did in 6 months doing evening classes in the UK. I would recommend people to do the 2 week travelling course if you have time. the school is nice in quito too (where i am now) but id recommend going on the road and seeing ecuador..
anyway, ive got to go. one more thing- do bring warm clothes and thermals! (iu took a mini hot water bottle, a godsend.) Im here in the middle of august, its supposed to be the cool & dry period. its very very cold in mountains!! also, its a lot of travelling and quite strenous so make sure youre fit and you can handle getting up early (ie some buses leave at 3am!)
have a great trip & let me know if you have any questions, im happy to write back! Jessica Davies"
