A career break in Ecuador is a fantastic choice for numerous reasons. For example if you are passionate about wildlife a career break in Ecuador is full of exciting possibilities – from the unique flora and fauna of the Galapagos Islands to the incredible range of animals and plants to be found in the rainforests of the mainland. In terms of stunning scenery a career break in Ecuador also gives you the chance to trek in the beautiful Andes Mountains and explore arguably South America’s most beautiful city – Quito.

One of the best ways to fully experience local culture on an Ecuador career break is by speaking Spanish to local people - all of our Ecuador career break programmes include comprehensive Spanish tuition. Another way to immerse yourself in everyday local life on your Ecuador career break is by getting involved with a worthwhile Ecuador voluntary work project at some point. We have a diverse range of extremely rewarding Ecuador career break volunteer programmes to choose from – including wildlife conservation on the Galapagos Islands and a variety of projects dedicated to improving the lives of disadvantaged people and communities throughhout Ecuador.
