From the purity of the Andes Cordillera with its grandiose landscapes and volcano valleys to the vastness of the Amazon and the beauty of the Sierra, Ecuador is a visually stunning land. Discover the rich heritage of the great Inca Empire as a YFU exchange student, and you will understand Ecuadorian culture as few visitors do. A YFU exchange program is the learning adventure of a lifetime. YFU is a homestay experience where you will live with a carefully selected host family who has agreed to open their home and their hearts, providing you room, board, and a caring home. You'll gain a global family, make new friends, and attend a new school. Have a journey you could have never imagined at home, and you'll discover that the YFU experience is a powerful engine for personal growth.
