Orientation
You will be given an orientation upon arrival. This will include detailed information about Ecuador and the surrounding area. The orientation will also cover all the relevant information about your project, including safety issues, to ensure that you feel safe and secure.
Accommodation and Meals
During your time at the project you will be staying with other volunteers in a house owned by a local host family and in a safe and convenient area. You will have a shared room and bathroom facilities, single rooms are available for an extra cost and subject to availability (please contact us for details). Two meals a day, breakfast and dinner, will be provided, as you will usually be out at the project during the day. You should pick up lunch from some of the many stores/restaurants near to the project location.
The house is located in a convenient location close to the bus station, so that you can easily catch the bus to the project site. You will be shown this during your orientation.
Free Time
You can spend your free time taking additional Spanish classes, if needed. At the weekends, you may take the opportunity to travel around the country and experience the amazing scenic and cultural diversity that Ecuador has to offer.
Project Support
Throughout your stay in Ecuador you will have the full support and guidance of the language school staff. You will be provided with competent assistance and help with any questions or advice you may need during your stay.
In addition you will have access to our 24-hour emergency number in the UK, so you can always contact a member of our UK team should you need to.
Project Age Limit
Minimum 18 years, maximum decided on potential participants’ health.
