One of the strong points of the city of Quito – Ecuador as a destination for a Spanish course is its cultural diversity. A quiet destination, with affordable prices and the best geographic location to explore Latin America.

About the life in the city, two worlds come together: its historic center, with impressive cathedrals and indigenous museums; and neighborhoods such as La Mariscal with a lively nightlife and a diverse cultural, gastronomic and entertainment offer.
Nature lovers will also find important nature reserves near Quito such as Yunguilla, the Maquipucuna forest reserve, the Cayambe-Coca National Park or the El Pahuma Reserve.
Average temperatures range from 4 to 25 degrees Celsius, with the rainy season between February and May. The rest of the year, the weather is moderate, with light rain and sunny periods.
Sucre, Bolivia is an authentic explosion of colors and traditions. A friendly destination full of history, which welcomes tourists with open arms, eager to transmit their traditions and practice Spanish with them in any situation.
Sucre is the official capital of the country and one of the most beautiful cities in Bolivia, with a colonial style reminiscent of the monumental Seville of the seventeenth century, with its white and yellowish facades.
