Amazonas: Jungle Program

Perhaps you would enjoy a trip into the jungle where you can experience the "Amazon" that includes a river, wild animals, plus topical plants and weather conditions, and at the sametime have the opportunity to practice and learn Spanish. We can offer you such an adventure. We have developed an extension program of our language school's courses in a jungle location. While there you have the opportunity to continue your Spanish course in the morning and do a variety of jungle excursions during the afternoon.

Few people realize that despite the small size of Ecuador, at 283,520 square km or about the size of that State of Nevada or New Zealand, that it has a varied set of geographical regions. Looking at the life zones, temperatures, climate, and rain fall, Ecuador has been divided into three distinctive geographical regions.

The backbone of Ecuador is the Andean range, with Chimborazo at 6310 meters, being its highest peak. The mountains create the Andean or the highland region of Ecuador. The Andean range runs north and south, splitting the country between the western Pacific coastal region or the lowlands, and the eastern side of the Andean range, that descends into steamy rainforests or the topical region. The topical region is part of the upper Amazonian basin and it is here that we have located our extension courses. These three regions is why Ecuador is is one of the most species-rich nations on the planet. And because of the regions, Ecuador has a high biodiversity which the government is working on conserving and maintaining.

If you are interested in having a jungle experience and at the sametime learn Spanish, then you need not look any further. Simply contact us and we will arrange a one week or more "Spanish and Jungle Adventure" package for you. You will receive the same kind of language course that you would have normally taken in our Quito location. Only you have the added pleasure of being located in the "jungle's of Ecuador."

It is recommended that you read up on the region and have taken the necessary precautions needed to travel and stay in such regions. The site includes protected areas (screened in areas), comfortable bedrooms, and all the comforts of a home. The staff at Amazonas travel to the site often and can give you all the information about the local area, tours, animals, plants, and other points of interest to make your stay fun and "an adventure."
