After landing in the city’s capital, you will be driven to the exciting and fun Selina Hostel in Quito (you won’t get bored here!), where you can check into your dorm and meet fellow travelers. Here, will also receive a meet and greet with one of our team members, who will explain and give all necessary information to you and will be your contact person throughout this exciting journey through Ecuador. Please keep in mind that you will be at a high altitude (2800 meters), so take it slow the first few days and cut back on the drinking and partying in order to avoid altitude sickness.

On Monday you will meet your teacher and companions at the hostel and you will start this fun learning process. Your classes are scheduled 4 hours a day from Monday to Friday. During your stay will also have 2 extra-curricular activities, that we have prepared for you: a half day Bike Tour and a half day Canopy bridge! Your teacher will explain you also the first day all the great places to visit in Baños for eating, drinking and dancing. Since you will have the weekend off before heading to Puyo, you will have plenty of time to discover this exciting city.

Meals are included in your stay at the animal rescue facility. You will have free time on Saturday afternoon and Sunday to unwind in the center (without meals) or explore the exciting Amazonian town of Puyo.
