Quito
Ecuador's capital Quito is located in a spectacular setting high up in the Andes among ancient dormant volcanoes, a beautiful place to spend a week or two learning Spanish. At 2,850 metres above sea level, Quito is the second highest capital city in the world, after La Paz. The city is divided into two sections; the old colonial centre with cobbled plazas and side-street Indian markets, and the more modern district with shops, bars and restaurants.
Staying with a carefully chosen local family and taking 16 hours of classes over four days at a reputable Spanish language school, you will be able to loosen your grip on your phrase book and improve your conversation skills in one of the world’s most widely spoken languages. You’ll be surprised how quickly you’ll pick up the basics by taking classes and actually living with the locals.
