Quito

Studentliv

Du bestämmer hur aktiv du vill vara. Vi ger dig möjligheten att ta del av varierande aktiviteter för att du ska få ut det mesta av din tid utomlands.

Cityliv

Ecuadors huvudstad - Quito - erbjuder en bokstavligt talat hisnande natur. Plugga spanska här och du kan njuta av vårlikt väder året runt, närheten till snötäckta vulkaner, majestätiska berg och frodiga regnskogar.

Upplev mer

Missa inte Iglesia de la Merced - en av de få kyrkor som finns kvar sen kolonialtiden. Ta en tur på någon av stadens alla marknader där du kan hitta allt från färsk frukt till hantverksföremål. På helgerna finns det otroliga möjligheter att upptäcka naturen utanför staden. Du kan klättra i berg, vandra, campa eller kanske se dig om i naturen på hästryggen. Populära platser såsom Galapagosöarna och Amazonas ligger nära Quito.

Volontär

Hjälpen är ovärderlig och upplevelsen oförglömlig. Alternativen är varierande såsom miljö, utbildning och sociala organisationer samt naturreservat med apor. Efter att din språkkurs är avslutad kan du bo och arbeta i eller i närheten av ett samhälle i ett antal veckor.
