Ecuador is a great place to conduct a Spanish-speaking internship. One of our students traveled to the headwaters of the Amazon to work with a wildlife conservation organization. She helped treat injured wildlife and released animals back into the wild. Eco-tourism is another popular internship option. The country has some top-notch eco-lodges and tour companies. Go on tours and blog about your experiences on their websites. And then help the staff market the trips to local hotels and businesses. Our students enjoy excursions to Mindo, the birdwatching capital of the country, and to the Galapagos Islands where they can witness Darwin’s finches and turtles.

I only joined my friends in having an internship in Ecuador. I'm actually glad that I did it though. beautiful places and people. we get to work with diff people in their IT industry and they're good at their jobs. very dedicated too. they gave me a glowing letter of recommendation after the internship and I knew it'll help me very very soon
My main work in Ecuador is teaching students Spanish and English. It was a fruitful experience. My fellow interns are very happy people and I source my inspiration and strength from them. Ecuador's climate is just okay, not too hot, not too dry. I like that people are welcoming too. Mil gracias, IGS!
Weekends in Ecuador are awesome. We visited the Galápagos Islands, Quito: Ecuador's Historic Andean Capital, Cotopaxi and Cajas National Parks, and the Hot Springs of Baños. My internship in Digital Marketing also opened doors for me in knowing more about Google Ads and Search Engine Optimization. I'm planning to build a career on that.
