About Activities & Excursions

If you are like most of our students you are coming to South America for much more than Spanish classes...

You also want to experience the local culture, meet new people, and explore the nature.

Typically we have three weekday after-class social/cultural activities and a weekend excursion day-trip.

To get a feel of Ecela beyond the classroom, check out these photos: ​
