Learn Spanish in Ecuador
Colonial indian city
Cuenca is the cultural capital of Ecuador and its third largest city. It is also Ecuador's best kept secret, not least because Cuenca and its surrounding region are rich in history, with a colonial atmosphere that has survived thanks to years of almost complete isolation.
Cuenca is a city of fascinating contrasts just waiting to be discovered. Two universities, museums and art galleries stand alongside with Indian markets rarely visited by foreigners. Exploring this delightful Latin American city and getting to know its friendly people will make you want to stay forever...
There are many good reasons to choose this destination to learn Spanish and just to list a few; For the warmth and hospitality of the "Cuencanos", for the colonial heritage and local colour, for the mild year-round climate, for their beautifully spoken Spanish, for the magnificent surroundings and also to get an authentic taste of Latin America.
The Language School in Cuenca
In Cuenca we recommend:
Estudio Sampere.
The school is situated in a detached building overlooking the Barranco River in the city centre.
The school has seven classrooms, a small garden, common room, library and video room.
It has a friendly atmosphere, and the director and staff are Ecuadorians who make up a professional and committed team. Also the school staff will be happy to help you plan any local trips you would like to take. Galapagos is a dream come true for any nature lover. Excursions to these Islands are expensive but are definitely worth it!!!
