Learn Spanish

We offer an Intensive Spanish Course with experienced teachers where the Spanish student has individual lessons with his or her teacher for 4 Hours per Day in the beautiful city of Riobamba.

Price per week:
- 20 Hours Spanish Lessons for $125 per week

Price Includes:
- Accommodation in the Riobamba Guesthouse

- For Spanish Students wanting an Homestay to learn Spanish even quicker we can organize your placement with a friendly Ecuadorian family for an extra $50 per week.

The advantages of learning Spanish in Riobamba is that the city is unarguably one of the most beautiful in the country and the only surrounded by the highest volcanoes in Ecuador: Chimborazo, Carihuazo, Tungurahua, and El Altar. Riobamba is also much safer than dangerous big cities like Quito and Spanish Students can live here, walk around and explore with a camera, without the fear of being robbed.

Perhaps the biggest reason that Riobamba is one of the best cities in the country to learn Spanish is that it is not overwhelmed with tens of thousands of tourists like Quito or Cuenca which gives the city a more authentic feel making it the perfect place to practice your Spanish. The ‘City of the Students’ is also a great place to go out and party while practicing your Spanish because of its many pubs and clubs that are full of local university students who travel from all around the country to study here.

For people who love playing indoor football / soccer we organize a game on an astro-turf field with local Ecuadorians every Sunday, Monday, and Wednesday night.
