Crossing the country from Otavalo to Cuenca through the Andes while Learning Spanish!
Enjoy an exceptional 2 week adventure, learning Spanish while traveling through the Avenue of the Volcanoes, discovering the landscape and the indigenous Ecuadorian culture.
Want to experience all the Andes have to offer? Participating in the Traveling Classroom Sierra, you will have the opportunity to visit a large part of the Andes mountain range, from Quito to Otavalo to Cotacachi, where you can visit places such as the Peguche waterfall and Cuicocha Lake. This Spanish course not only offers a complete Ecuador experience but also provides you with the chance to learn quickly with our proven methodology and total Spanish immersion. You will have Spanish classes with a qualified teacher who holds a Bachelor’s degree in Education specialized in Languages. Your instructor will have over 10 years of experience leading this type of program and is, of course, an experienced guide for the journey that you will undertake in the Andes while learning Spanish with us.
This is your time to enjoy and study Spanish in the spectacular Andes while we take care of the details!
Every week, students will have 20 hours of Spanish classes. 15 hours will be spent in formal face-to-face classes and 5 hours will be spent practicing Spanish while traveling with the Spanish teacher. Formal classes will take place in a comfortable area and will either be held in the morning or the afternoon, depending on the travel schedule and planned excursions. Traveling with your teacher and companions will give you the opportunity to practice Spanish in a natural environment, as well as immersing you in Ecuadorian culture.
Unless arranged otherwise, the structure of our Traveling Classroom is designed to be in group lessons. Group size depends on the number of students participating with a maximum of 4 students. For individual classes, please add 25% to the price.
Spanish courses will be focused to develop everything you already know and everything you will be learning with us every single day and concentrated in your personal interests and needs.
With the exception of our Traveling Classroom, the Instituto Superior de Español offers three different types of classes: individual, group, or a combination course with 4 hours of group classes + 2 or 3 hours of individual teaching. We arrange classes to fit the needs of our students.
