Where is the language school located?

The language course is based in a language school in Quito, Ecuador. The area is mostly residential and is considered very safe for locals and tourists. The school itself is a lovely large and bright building, with a terrace where lessons are often taught!

What can I do in my spare time in Quito?

Quito is a beautiful city in Ecuador that has a lot to offer! You’ll never be bored during your spare time as you can hike the picturesque forest hills or relax in bars, and restaurants and roam the city’s museums.
