If you plan to study Spanish in Ecuador, most people take lessons in its capital, Quito, then combine it with lessons in the Amazon Jungle or on the coast.
In 1978, Quito was the first city in the world (along with Cracow) to be declared as World Heritage site by UNESCO. It has one of the best preserved Spanish Colonial centers in South America.
Prices of Spanish classes in Quito are very competitive compared to other destinations in the South America.
An added bonus of studying Spanish in Quito is its spring-like climate all year round.
