Quito: The Capital Kickoff!
Your adventure begins in Quito, the vibrant heart and historical center of Ecuador! Dive into the action with exciting outings like a trip to Mitad del Mundo (that’s right, you’ll be standing at the center of the world!), soaking in a magnificent natural hot spring, and biking through Cotopaxi National Park—home to the highest active volcano on the planet!

Cuenca: Colonial Charm or Amazonian Bliss?
Next up is Cuenca, a UNESCO treasure trove of colonial architecture and art! Explore captivating museums nestled in stunning old buildings, and don’t miss the ruins of Pumapungo! If you’re feeling adventurous, trade the city for the Amazon jungle! Get your adrenaline pumping with tubing down the river, building rafts, trekking through lush greenery, bird-watching, and diving into shamanic traditions!

Manta: Sun, Sea, and Soaring!
Next, let’s hit the beach in Manta! Here, you can try tandem paragliding for a bird’s-eye view of the coastline, visit the birthplace of the iconic Panama hat in Montecristi, and hop over to Isla de Plata—a.k.a. the ‘little Galapagos’—where you can spot whales in season!

Montañita: Surf’s Up!
Your final destination is the laid-back, funky surf town of Montañita! Join the surf craze with daily lessons, explore a hidden beach paradise, and whip up some delicious Ecuadorian dishes in a fun cooking class!

"Excellent teaching and excellent location"

Brittany Davis, student from USA

The teachers are fantastic-- I had Paul and Stalin and was so sad to leave the school. The classes are tiny--I only had 4 students in mine including myself. The location and facilities are so much nicer than anything I would have seen in the states and the activities were so much fun. Ronny, the surf instructor, was absolutely the best sports teacher I've ever encountered. He was very talented but also knew how to break it down for beginners.
