Quito Cultural program
Spanish classes and cultural excursions in Quito . . .
Quito was declared a World Heritage site in 1978. Its historic center is recognized as the best-preserved historic center in Latin America with many fine buildings, over 40 unique museums and cultural centers. There are plenty of other sites of interest in and around Quito, from botanical gardens to parks and historical sites. We have created the Quito Cultural Package to offer our Spanish students the chance to explore this rich, vibrant and diverse city while they study Spanish.
- 20 hours of small group Spanish classes (can be taken with individual classes or as a couple/friends too)
- 4 excursions per week to places of cultural and historical interest around Quito. Friday afternoon free for extended weekend activities.
- Program can be taken for up to 3 weeks without repetition. You can also do the same program in our school in Cuenca!
- Combine your Spanish tuition with more touristic pursuits and a chance to practice your Spanish in real-life settings for a real immersion experience!
And if you have particular interests that you would like to follow while you are in Quito we will be happy to arrange visits to alternative sites with a teacher for you.
"It thoroughly enjoyed my week in Quito exploring the sites with my teacher. F was a great guide and it was fun to learn Spanish out and about like that. I wished I could have stayed for another week to continue the same program!"
