Learn Spanish in Ecuador

An epic gateway to the Ecuadorian Andes and Amazon Rainforest, Baños is bursting with unbelievably beautiful landscapes. From hot springs to waterfall trails and stunning mountain views, this town can match any pace. It's nicknamed Ecuador's 'Adventure Capital' for a reason, but if you're more into chilled hikes and kicking back with an incredible view, Baños can give you just that.

As one of the most popular destinations in Ecuador, learning Spanish in Baños is the experience of a lifetime. In your free time, there are so many shops, restaurants and bars waiting to be explored with your classmates - it's a fun excuse to practice the language!

On this trip, you will have 4-hour small group lessons that run from Mondays to Fridays. For the rest of your time, there are some incredible activities included for you - plus, loads of opportunities to freely explore Baños at your own pace. Here's what a typical timetable looks like for your week; please note that the exact schedule of classes can be subject to change.

The included mountain biking and canopy tours typically run on Tuesday and Thursday mornings. This means you get to start your weekend early on a Friday, and enjoy a completely free Saturday and Sunday all to yourself!

On this trip, we have some amazing included activities for you to make the most out of your stay in Baños. The first is a half-day bike tour around the area, giving you the chance to immerse yourself in nature and take in the gorgeous scenery. Alongside this, there will also be a half-day canopy bridge ziplining tour included; giving you the chance to explore the rugged mountains and sweeping stretches of rainforest at a more active pace.

Your weekends are completely free to explore Baños at your own pace. No trip to this breathtaking town is complete without riding the giant swing at La Casa Del Arbol, overlooking the entire valley! Ziplining, cable car rides, white water rafting, canyoning and paragliding are also some of the most exhilarating activities you can get up to here - and our local team can help you to arrange this all in the country.

Outside of adventure sports, you can discover giant waterfalls and tropical hiking trails, as well as chilled cocktail bars, local craft beer spots and local markets in town. And who could forget about the hot springs for ultimate relaxation?

You will be taught by professional teachers who are passionate about sharing the Spanish language and Ecuadorian culture. Your Spanish lessons run from Mondays to Fridays and are scheduled to last for 4 hours per day. These lessons are designed to equip you with the language skills that will make a huge difference while in Ecuador, or if you are looking to travel all over South America.

Before your lessons begin, there will be a test to assess what ability level would be most suitable, so that you can get the most out of your experience here. For that first Monday, your teacher will also share with you the best spots in Baños for food, drinks, and dancing - plus, the top activities you have to try while you're here!
