Language School in EcuadorCCI language school in Cuenca, Ecuador   (Ages 18+)
The best way to learn Spanish is in a country where it is spoken. CCI’s language school in Cuenca, Ecuador includes 20 hours of class per week, room and board with host families and a variety of activities and excursions to help you make the most of your time in Ecuador.

Known for their hospitality and kindness, the 250,000 inhabitants of Cuenca have successfully preserved its colonial past with its cobbled streets, churches, pre-Hispanic ruins and museums, and colorful Indian markets. Cuenca is actually in an Andean valley and because of the height, the city revels in a spring-like climate year round. Modern office buildings, art galleries and two universities make their home in Cuenca along with the rich history and traditions of the Indian cultures. The Ingapirca ruins and the Chordeleg craft villages are nearby, as is Cajas Natural Park. You will find Cuenca a remarkable, unspoiled haven with elegant surroundings and magnificent scenic beauty where the people, particularly the host Ecuador, indigenous dancingfamilies, welcome you to their city. The program is perfect for participants wanting a very welcoming and personal experience.

The school is located in the city center and has 8 classrooms and 12 teachers. There are only 5 students per Spanish language class. The family-like atmosphere here enhances the course work which includes a strong cultural emphasis. There are no Spanish language classes available for complete beginners. Participants must be 18+.

Typical Activities and Excursions:

  • Chordeleg craft villages
  • Ingapirca ruins
