Academia Latinoamericana:
Location
Academia
Latinoamericana is situated in a lovely residential area of Quito,
known as "El Batan." It is conveniently located to 6 bus
lines within a four block distance of the school. Buses cost anywhere
from 25 to 35 cents and taxis around 1 or 2 US$ for a typical fare.
Quito is the capital of Ecuador
and thus offers the best travel connections to anywhere within the
country. A half hour flight to the East will take you to the Amazon
Basin.
A two and a half hour flight
will take you to the Galapagos Islands, the site of Darwin's inspiration.
Less than two hours to the north is Otavalo, South America's largest
and most famous Indian Market. Follow the Panamerican Highway to
the south, the former Royal Road of the Incas, and you will come
to Cotopaxi National Park, site of the world's highest active volcano.
