Study & Learn SPANISH in ECUADOR

The Republic of Ecuador is a country that offers true natural beauty; from the Galápagos Islands located in the Pacific, to the dramatic Cotopaxi, a snow-capped Andean volcano. Ecuador is situated on the equator in South America and its capital city, Quito, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site with a fascinating historic center. Guayaquil, the country’s largest city, is also popular and hosts many large events. The landscape and wildlife, however, are perhaps the country’s primary attraction: from the coastal land by the Pacific and the highlands including the Andes Mountains, to El Oriente, containing Amazon rainforest, and the Galápagos Islands in the Pacific Región Insular. The country’s continental area alone is home to a staggering 15% of the world’s known species of birds.


Ecuador’s cuisine is varied, with red-meat, chicken and guinea pig being popular ingredients in the mountainous areas, and seafood, peanuts and plantain being more commonly eaten by the coast. In regards to the arts, Ecuador has produced many successful writers and painters.

Quito: The capital of Ecuador is arguably the most beautiful city in South America. Located at 2,800 meters above sea level in a valley flanked by mountains, 15 miles south of the equator, giving it a wonderful spring like climate year round. Quito has plenty of colonial architecture, and modern building has been strictly controlled in the old town since 1978, when it was declared a UNESCO cultural heritage site.
