Craving adventure and a chance to make a difference? Consider a summer program in Ecuador. Explore a land of beauty from the Andean peaks to the Amazon rainforest. Trek through lush landscapes, spot exotic wildlife and learn about the country’s distinctive culture.
These programs encourage participants to volunteer alongside local students, practice Spanish with friendly locals, and contribute to meaningful service projects. Maybe you’ll help with conservation efforts or teach younger students to speak English. Plus it’s a chance for you to study Spanish, develop social responsibility, and leave a positive impact.
Challenge yourself with a hike to Quilotoa, the crater lake that sits within a volcanic crater nestled in the Andes mountains. Test your limits, build teamwork skills, and create lasting memories and friendships. Summer programs in Ecuador are the perfect blend of adventure, cultural immersion, learning, and volunteer work. It’s a chance to explore a new world and return home with a heart full of stories.
