Amerispan- Study Spanish in Cuenca, Ecuador

  Ecuador
  • All Other Regions of Ecuador: 
  • Cuenca

Term: Throughout the year 
Dates: New classes begin each Month

Description: Located in an Andean valley, Cuenca truly is a town of striking contrast. It has successfully preserved its past from its cobblestone streets and colonial churches, to its colorful Indian markets and pre-Colombian ruins. Colonial Cuenca is just across the Tombamba River from modern day Cuenca with office buildings, art galleries and two universities. Home to many scholars and artists of Ecuador, Cuenca is said to be the 'Athens of Ecuador.' Relatively undiscovered by English speaking tourists, this program offers an excellent opportunity to learn Spanish.

As many as 90% of the students studying at our friendly, relaxed partner school are not from the USA or Canada offering a diverse mix of cultures.

- 5 hours daily instruction (25 hrs/week)

Highlights: Named for its position on the Equator, Ecuador is bordered by Colombia, Peru and the Pacific Ocean. Not many countries as small as Ecuador have such diverse climate regions. This country has the tallest active volcano in the world, great white sand beaches, tropical rainforests, deep crevasses, colorful Indian markets and is well known for its social and political stability.

AmeriSpan Study Abroad's Mission Statement: Since 1993, AmeriSpan has sent more than 23,000 people abroad. Our staff has three passions: language, culture, and travel. Individually and as a group, we have accumulated experiences and knowledge related to these passions. We have traveled to more than 65 countries - every continent except Antarctica - and speak 10 languages. We are happy to share this enormous amount of relevant knowledge with you. Every AmeriSpan staff member has studied and/or lived abroad for extended periods of time. We understand your questions and concerns because we have personally dealt with the same issues. We have gone to great lengths to make it easier for you than it was for us. After enrolling in a program, you will receive a copy of the "Need-To-Know" fact sheets on the country or countries that you will be visiting. These fact sheets include information about entry requirements, climate, health and many other "Need-To-Know" things. If you still have questions, we'll be happy to answer them. We are neither a language school nor a travel agent we're a hybrid of the two, a language travel organization. AmeriSpan has evaluated hundreds of schools, host families and destinations to determine which programs to offer. Our independence allows us to give you unbiased evaluations of the programs. We do not just list what is included, rather, we clearly state our opinions. Each program description contains a program review that describes what we like and what we don't like about the program. Aside from assisting you with which program to choose, we work hard to make the whole process as simple as possible. AmeriSpan pre-arranges your school, lodging, airport pick-up and other services. With AmeriSpan, you will not have to worry about international wire transfers, international phone calls or dozens of other possible complications with arrangements and money.

Year Founded: 1994
