Description

Ecuador is a pocket-sized slice of beautiful South America. Despite its diminutive size, it is bursting with vibrant culture, mesmerising landscapes, exotic tropical wildlife and pristine habitats. Ecuador includes the all-consuming emerald rainforests of the Amazon and is rich in rare and endangered species.

Whilst it is South America's tiniest country, it has everything you could possibly want, including stretches of white sand beaches, expansive plains, steamy jungles and spectacular mountains. All this and more is waiting to be discovered on your spectacular Ecuadorian adventure!

* What Will I Be Doing?

Your project will take place in one of three public fiscal schools and your pupils will range in age depending on your location. You may be involved in long-term projects such as teaching English, maths, art or hygiene and nutrition, or other subjects in which you have experience. The projects will depend on your Spanish ability and you may also be able to assist in creating educational materials, grading homework, teaching vocabulary and introducing games and activities.
