Overview
Experience the best of Ecuador — spectacular Andes Mountains, rich Incan culture, gracious people and historic colonial towns — on an unforgettable 30-day journey that immerses you in the lifestyles and language of this extraordinary country. The Sierra of Ecuador is one of the world’s best places to learn Spanish, as its friendly inhabitants speak slowly and clearly with a light accent. As our adventure unfolds, you’ll improve your Spanish skills through cultural interaction, service work, formal language instruction and exploration. Trek a challenging section of the ancient Inca Trail, do community service work in magnificent cloud forest, home stay with an Ecuadorian family and take workshops on crafts, dancing, cooking and music. You’ll find there is no better way to learn a language than to be surrounded by native speakers, and no better way to discover a culture than to live and work amongst its people. Prepare for an amazing expedition!

Academic Credit
Academic credit is available.  Academic Treks participants can earn high school and/or college credit with the successful completion of an AT program.

High school credit is usually attained through prior approval at your school.
