"Yanapuma began as just another school on my list. I had four weeks in Quito and wanted to get the most value out of my school. After spending an entire day visiting nearly half a dozen Spanish school Yanapuma came out as the clear winner. Competitive cost, student programs and involvement, and versatile teaching efforts  are why I would recommend Yanapuma to anyone. ¡Thanks!" - Ryan (click to read more)

What's happening this week at Yanapuma Spanish School?

A weekly roundup of events at the Spanish school and foundation in Quito . . . 14 May - 20 May 2012

Currently we have around 13 Spanish students at the school, ranging in age from just 4 years old to folks in their 60s. From now on numbers will begin to climb until we reach a peak of around 25-30 in the summer months. Each year is different though and one can never quite be sure what the next month will bring.

This week students are already signing up for the various activities that we have planned for this week. These include a free salsa class on Tuesday night, a trip to the museum on the equator on Wednesday, making crafts on Thursday afternoon, and cocktails in the school on Friday after classes.

Students are also signing up for the weekend trip to the magnificent Quilotoa crater lake. About 4 hours south of Quito, the turquoise waters of the lake provide stunning photo opportunities, and students can hike down into the crater or around its rim. At over 4000 metres in altitude the air is quite thin which makes hiking more strenuous.

You can see more about these regular events by clicking on the "Upcoming Events at Yanapuma" link on the top right hand side of this page.

In the foundation we have been working with our 13 scholarship students who started their high school year in late April. These scholarships allow them to continue their studies through high school as a means of increasing the educational level of their poor coastal communities.

Our volunteers are taking a well-earned break this week following the "Ruta de los Volcanes," climbing up to the snowline of Chimborazo volcano, white-water rafting in Baños, downhill cycling, and kayaking on a crater lake. After this they will go off to the Galapagos for 3 weeks volunteering on an environmental project.
