Cuenca provides a secure and safe base from which to learn Spanish with Yanapuma Spanish School. It is a traditional and quite conservative Andean city whose center has been declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO on account of the many fine and well-preserved colonial buildings in the city center. Walking through the streets of Cuenca is like stepping back in time as the city still has a strong indigenous presence alongside its more modern facets.
"I loved the quiet bustle of Cuenca - at once busy but very tranquil too. A great place to wander around after class. I felt very safe there as a woman wandering around on her own, exploring the many parks and points of interest they have here.
In our school in cuenca we offer
- Standard and Intensive Spanish programs
- "Cuenca Cultural" program, combining Spanish classes with cultural excursions
- "Volunteer Cuenca" program of Spanish classes and volunteering

Communicative Language Teaching
Teachers are trained in the "Communicative Language Teaching" method which promotes interaction as the primary means and goal of study, rather than merely achieving "grammatical competence". Learning is linked to personal experience and interests which makes lessons more engaging and productive.
Our Volunteer Cuenca program provides a combination of volunteering in the afternoons at a small local library on the outskirts of Cuenca with 3 hours per day of Spanish classes in the mornings. Volunteering provides a great way to give something back to the community as well as being the perfect way to immerse yourself in the Spanish language.
